View SamplesWe assessed the feasibility and reliability of microarray studies using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue-derived RNA compared with transcriptome data from paired fresh-frozen (FF) material. We established a robust workflow to generate highly reproducible microarray datasets from only 2 ng RNA input. For prior quality assessment, inspection of Agilent Bioanalyzer electropherograms, calculation of RNA fragment size distribution (DV200) and routine qPCR for selected references genes were done.
