Test Overview & Methodology
RNA QC and Quantitation provides a critical quality checkpoint for high‑stakes genomic applications including gene expression profiling, next‑generation sequencing (NGS), and quantitative PCR (qPCR). Our dual‑method platform utilizes fluorometric quantitation with the Qubit 4 RiboGreen assay for precise concentration measurement, coupled with capillary electrophoresis using the TapeStation system to generate a reliable RNA Integrity Number (RIN). This combined approach delivers superior accuracy compared to traditional UV spectrophotometry, ensuring that only high‑quality RNA proceeds to downstream analysis.
| Feature | Our RNA Test (ISO Accredited) | Closest Alternative (Basic Spectrophotometry) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Method | Fluorometric (Qubit 4 RiboGreen) + Capillary Electrophoresis (TapeStation RIN) | UV Absorbance (NanoDrop) only; no integrity assessment |
| Turnaround Time | Results in 7 working days | 5–7 days, but lacks sensitivity and integrity data |
| Accreditation | ISO 9001:2015 & DHA Licensed | Not guaranteed |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“RNA quality is the foundation of accurate gene expression analysis and personalized treatment decisions. This test provides critical quality metrics, but results must always be interpreted within the full clinical context. A high RNA integrity number (RIN) is necessary, but not sufficient, to guarantee downstream assay success.”
— Ms. Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics, DHA Registration ID: 9294403
⚠️ Important Safety Advisory & Exclusion Criteria
- Exclusion: Samples not collected in certified RNA‑stabilizing tubes or subjected to improper storage temperatures will be rejected. Extracted RNA must be shipped strictly on dry ice to maintain integrity.
- Red Flag: This test is designed for research and quality control purposes. Abnormal results do not constitute a medical emergency. Always consult your physician for clinical correlation.
- If you experience acute symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe bleeding, seek immediate emergency care regardless of your RNA test status.
⚠️ Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does RNA QC and Quantitation measure?
This test measures RNA concentration using advanced fluorometry (Qubit 4 RiboGreen) and assesses molecular integrity via the RNA Integrity Number (RIN) on a capillary electrophoresis system. It ensures that extracted RNA is of sufficient quality for reliable downstream genomic applications.
2. Why is RNA QC necessary before genomic testing?
High‑quality RNA with a RIN above 7 is essential for accurate gene expression analysis, next‑generation sequencing, and qPCR. Degraded RNA leads to false negative results, compromising diagnostic accuracy and potentially impacting clinical decisions.
3. How should I prepare for the home collection of the RNA sample?
No fasting or medication adjustment is required for the blood draw. Our trained phlebotomist will use a certified RNA‑stabilizing tube and follow strict cold‑chain protocols for immediate transport to our ISO‑accredited laboratory, ensuring sample integrity.
