We are looking at this product (RNA Shield - Zymor Research http://www.zymoresearch.com/download.../r1100_50d.pdf) for the field collection of RNA in remote areas that we have to hike into for a couple of days. It seems to have a better stabilizing capacity than RNA Later. But was interested to know if anyone has used it, whether it is in fact better than RNALater and what the quality of the RNA was? We are interested in using the RNA from transcriptome sequencing.

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
