To the homeRNAmax: Developing an Improved Blood Self-Collection and Stabilization Platform for Remote Transcriptomic Studies
This study discusses the development of a new implementation of the homeRNA platform that interfaces with the commercially available BD Microtainer, therefore allowing homeRNAmax to be used with any blood collection method that uses this tube for more blood volume to be collected. The authors also conducted a pilot study where they show that homeRNAmax produces RNA samples of sufficient quality (mean RIN=7.8) and yield (mean yield=1.93 μg) for downstream analysis.
Your Blood is Out for Delivery: Considerations of Shipping Time and Temperature on Degradation of RNA from Stabilized Whole Blood
This study expands upon previous work on homeRNA through a systematic study exploring the effects of high temperature on RNA integrity (represented as RNA Integrity Number, RIN) through in-lab and field experiments.
At-home blood collection and stabilization in high temperature climates using home RNA
This study investigated the robustness of the home RNA kit in high temperature settings via two small pilot studies in Doha, Qatar (no. participants = 8), and the Western and South Central USA during the summer of 2021, which included a heatwave of unusually high temperatures in some locations…
homeRNA: A Self-Sampling Kit for the Collection of Peripheral Blood and Stabilization of RNA
homeRNA: a kit for self-collection of peripheral blood (∼0.5 mL) and immediate stabilization of cellular RNA, using the Tasso-SST blood collection device with a specially designed stabilizer tube containing RNAlater.
