Cerba Research can propose a wide array of genomic services, including DNA/RNA extraction, thanks to a full range of automated and harmonized protocols available. 

For gDNA isolation from whole blood, we normally extract DNA by using the QIAamp DNA blood Mini/Midi/Maxi kits.This extraction can be performed on different types of matrix including whole blood, FFPE tissue, plasma, body fluids, lymphocytes and more.  

For RNA, the procedure is complicated by the ubiquitous presence of ribonuclease enzymes that rapidly degrade RNA. Several methods are used to stabilize and isolate RNA from samples, such as PAXgen® Blood RNA tubes (intended for immediate stabilization of intracellular RNA from Qiagen) or RNAlater Preserved Tissues (long term sample preservation used mostly for biopsies). 

Thanks to a fully automated platform available in most of our laboratories, Cerba Research can ensure a quick turnaround time for your nucleic acid extraction needs, with a full sample traceability.
