Figure 4 RNA integrity profiles of human pancreatic tissue across four preservation methods.
The X-axis shows RNA fragment size (nucleotides) and the Y-axis shows normalised fluorescence intensity. Vertical markers left to right denote the lower internal size standard and the 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA subunit peaks. RNA integrity number (RIN) scale: 1 = fully degraded, 10 = fully intact. Representative electropherograms and traces displaying RNA integrity profiles of preserved human pancreatic tissue. A: Immediate processing (RIN = 5.0); B: Snap freezing (RIN = 2.8); C: Submersion in RNAlater (RIN = 7.8); D: RNAlater injection (RIN = 8.0). RINe: RNA integrity numbere; nt: Nucleotides.
