“It‘s never easy to extract pure RNA, especially when the process involves a myriad of cells, and most of them do not have an optimized protocol. Therefore, the quality of the materials used is crucial to avoid unexpected results. In our laboratory, we can only accept the purest RNA to understand genetic regulation in different cellular stages. Since we started using the Eppendorf 25 mL tubes, we discard fewer samples. The transparency of the Eppendorf 25 mL tubes allows us to perfectly visualize RNA pellets and separate them from other crystals formed during the process. Furthermore, since we have been using Eppendorf
25 mL tubes, we have never again had problems with organic solvents dissolving the containers. Their height also makes them very comfortable to work with in the laminar flow hood. For those reasons, Eppendorf 25 mL tubes are now part of our day-to-day work, and they are here to stay.”
