Need a RNA 6000 Pico Total RNA Kit?

[Jason507]

Hi Guys,

I feel weird posting this here but we have a complete RNA 6000 Pico Total RNA Kit (http://www.genomics.agilent.com/en/B...bId=AG-PR-1172). Just got it in a couple of days ago. I don't think we are ever going to use it since the amount for RNA quantification is so low.

I was curious is anyone uses these regularly? Maybe they had a (full or partial) kit for RNA 6000 Nano Total RNA or DNA 1000 Kit we could exchange with?

Not sure if this is appropriate for this for SEQanswers so if it's not please let me know I will gladly remove this. I just don't want it to go to waste if someone else is in a similar boat and could use it

Or maybe someone can help... If you run a pico chip as a nano chip how might the outcome be different?

I think you would need to dilute your sample to be sure it is in the range for the Pico chip. They use them here for some microarray stuff.

That should work! Thanks!

If anyone has tried this and has had trouble with it let me know.
