RNAlater has been successfully tested with many different tissues, (including brain, heart, kidney, liver, skeletal muscle, fat, lung) and cell types (E. coli, Drosophila, cultured mammalian cells, and some plant cells). RNAlater can also be used to store anticoagulated whole blood or the white blood cell fraction of whole blood. Ambion’s RiboPure™-Blood RNA Isolation Kit incorporates RNAlater and provides instructions on how best to use RNAlater with blood.
