Table 2 Quality Measures for sample RNA, DNA and histology. RIN (RNA Integrity Number), DIN (DNA Integrity Number), H&E haematoxylin- and eosin-staining, IHC Immuno-histochemistry
Specimen type | Primary | Secondary |
|---|---|---|
RNA | RIN value ≥7.0 | 260/280 ratio: 1.9–2.1 |
DNA | DIN value ≥7.0 | 260/280 ratio: 1.7–1.9 |
Placenta | RIN value ≥7.0 | RNA Extraction 260/280 ratio |
Placenta Histology | H&E | IHC Markers e.g. vimentin |
