• A different product, RNAlater®-ICE, is used with samples that are already frozen. RNAlater-ICE transitions tissue from a frozen to a non-frozen state. The frozen tissue is simply placed in RNAlater-ICE and left at -20°C overnight. Treated tissues can then be used directly in standard homogenization and isolation protocols and processed like fresh tissue. • RNAlater and RNAlater-ICE provide flexibility for sample collection and storage, and help ensure that high quality RNA is preserved in samples. Both are available in a variety of convenient sizes.
