    Total RNA per cell
    Posted by: maultm (IP Hidden, New member, 1)

    I'm trying to isolate total RNA from Rat bone marrow for taqMan PCR. We've never isolated RNA from this type of cell before and don't know what to expect in terms of yield. Can anyone tell me from their experience how much RNA per cell I can expect to get? This will be helpful for determining how many wells of cells I need to isolate RNA from. Thanks!

    The yield should be similar to RNA isolation from whole blood. Normally 1-5ml is enough for RNA isolation. Vendors like Roche and others have such kit to improve the yield and purity.
