Test Overview & Methodology
RNA extraction from solid tissue (e.g., tumour biopsies) or whole blood is the essential first step for precision oncology, infectious disease molecular analysis, and hereditary cancer profiling. Our DHA‑licensed, ISO 9001:2015‑certified laboratory delivers high‑purity RNA with a rapid 7‑day turnaround, directly supporting your physician’s diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.

| Home Collection | Available (blood) – cold‑chain compliant | Rarely offered |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a molecular geneticist, I emphasise that RNA extraction quality directly impacts downstream testing. A high‑quality RNA sample (RIN ≥ 8.0) is critical for reliable gene expression and mutation analysis. Always interpret results in conjunction with full clinical history and histopathology.”

Advisory – Medication Safety
Do not discontinue or adjust any prescribed medication based on this RNA extraction report without explicitly consulting your treating physician. This laboratory service provides a purified RNA product; clinical decisions require integrated medical judgement.
Patient Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Solid tissue biopsy must be performed by a licensed surgeon in a sterile hospital environment. Self‑collection is strictly prohibited and dangerous.
- Do not proceed with home blood collection if you have a known bleeding disorder, active infection at the puncture site, or are haemodynamically unstable.
- Seek immediate emergency care (call 998) if you experience post‑biopsy fever >38°C, uncontrolled bleeding, severe pain, or signs of infection (redness, pus).
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Why is RNA extraction necessary before genetic testing?
High‑quality RNA extraction removes inhibitors and preserves fragile molecules, enabling accurate gene expression profiling and mutation detection from tissue or blood. Without this step, downstream tests such as RT‑PCR or next‑generation sequencing would fail or yield false‑negative results. Our validated protocol consistently achieves RNA integrity numbers (RIN) above 8.0, the gold standard for molecular oncology applications.
2. Can I collect the tissue sample myself at home?
Absolutely not; all solid tissue samples must be obtained by a qualified surgeon or interventional radiologist in a sterile clinical setting. Attempting self‑collection carries severe risks including haemorrhage, infection, and inadequate specimen quantity. For whole blood RNA extraction, our certified phlebotomy team can visit your home and handle all safety protocols.
3. How do I interpret RNA extraction results or the purity report?
RNA extraction results report purity ratios (A260/A280) and integrity (RIN); these numbers must be evaluated by your molecular pathologist alongside your clinical diagnosis. A pure RNA sample typically shows A260/A280 ~1.8–2.0 and a RIN ≥ 7.0. Our laboratory provides a full quality certificate, and our genetic counsellors are available to explain the report during a free tele‑consultation.
4. What is the turnaround time and how will I receive results?
Standard turnaround is 7 calendar days from sample receipt. Results are delivered via secure digital portal and email. You will also receive a hard‑copy quality certificate along with a genetic counselling appointment if requested.
