Basic Information
Scope
This document provides operational guidelines for the pre-test phase of venous whole blood samples used for cellular RNA testing, including sample handling, storage, processing, and recordkeeping. This document covers samples collected in venous whole blood collection tubes.
This document is applicable to molecular in vitro diagnostic tests conducted in medical laboratories, as well as laboratory clients, in vitro diagnostic developers and manufacturers, biobanks, institutions and commercial organizations engaged in biomedical research, and regulatory authorities.
This document does not address specialized methods for stabilizing free circulating RNA in blood and RNA from blood-derived exosomes.
This document does not address the collection, stabilization, transportation, and storage of capillary blood, nor does it address specialized methods for collecting and storing blood using paper-based technology or other techniques that can produce dried blood.
This document does not include the separation of specific blood cells and subsequent isolation of cellular RNA.
This document does not include pathogen RNA in blood.
