Description
This evidence-based, expert-vetted best practices document describes the collection and processing of blood for cell-free microRNA (miRNA, miR) analysis of human plasma and serum, and also includes guidance on miRNA extraction and sample/specimen storage. Biospecimens processed under these procedural guidelines are suitable for research and clinical analysis of circulating miRNA. This BEBP is intended to support the development of evidence-based Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The BEBP document series is a product of the National Cancer Institute's Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research Branch (NCI BBRB) and can also be found on their website (https://biospecimens.cancer.gov/resources/bebp.asp).
