Reply to RNA Isolation from Tissue

[Babak Alizadeh twang]

Dear Colleague,
	In response to your E-bulletin board posting, I would suggest 
your supplying them (hospitals) with >6 M solutions of 
Guanidine Isotyocyanate for them to drop the tissue in and 
place in any freezer till you pick it up. Of course this will 
necessitate use of total RNA isolation as opposed to cytosolic 
or nuclear.  Poly-A isolation protocols would have to be 
adjusted.....Good luck.  I hope to have helped.
