Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“Fungal RNA extraction is a precision step; I always advise correlating RNA integrity metrics with the patient’s clinical picture and imaging before finalising a diagnosis. A high‑quality extract is only as meaningful as the clinical correlation behind it.”
— Lina Osama Zaki Quteineh, Consultant Medical Genetics (DHA License: 9294403)
⚠️ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue or adjust any prescribed antifungal, immunosuppressive, or other medication based solely on this RNA extraction result. Always consult your treating physician for therapeutic decisions.
🛑 Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Active, uncontrolled bleeding at the collection site (e.g., severe thrombocytopenia) – home phlebotomy contraindicated.
- Suspected invasive fungal rhinosinusitis with vascular erosion – immediate emergency care required; do not delay for sample collection.
- Known allergy to latex or antiseptic used in kit; inform our team beforehand.
- Septic shock or haemodynamic instability – the extraction is not an emergency procedure; stabilise first.
This service is performed in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is RNA Extraction from Fungal Mycelium and when is it clinically indicated?
Fungal RNA extraction isolates total RNA from mycelial samples for detecting active fungal gene expression, diagnosing invasive mycoses, or research. Clinicians order it when a suspected deep fungal infection (e.g., Aspergillus, Candida) requires transcriptomic confirmation or when monitoring treatment response via fungal load.
2. What sample types are required and how should they be prepared?
We accept fresh fungal mycelium (culture on agar), tissue biopsies in RNAlater™, or 2 mL whole blood in PAXgene RNA tubes for circulating fungal RNA. All specimens must be immediately chilled and transported within 2 hours under cold chain; improper storage degrades RNA and leads to false‑negative results.
3. How long does the extraction take and what does the 350 AED fee include?
The standard turnaround is 5 working days with a detailed QC report (RIN, concentration, purity) included at 350 AED; express 2‑day processing is available. The cost covers sample accession, DNase treatment, automated extraction, two rounds of quality control, and a telephonic interpretation session.
