RIN scores of RNA obtained from RSM or PAXgene samples stored under various conditions. (A) RIN scores for RNA obtained from either 25 subjects (PAXgene Control, RT O/N) or a subset of 10 subjects (37°C O/N, RT 6D, Negative Control). Mean values ± 95% CI are shown. ** = p < 0.001, * = p 0.002 by paired t-test. (B) RIN scores (y axis) for RNA obtained from pooled PAXgene control samples subjected to various conditions. 10 replicates per condition were used. Mean values ± 95% CI are shown. ** = p < 0.001 by paired t-test. Dashed lines indicate minimum acceptable RIN for downstream gene expression analysis.
