A Solvent For The Extraction And Preservation Of mRNA At Room Temperature
A buffer that allows the extraction and long-term room temperature preservation of mRNA. Problem: mRNA is unstable in aqueous environments, so different formulations have been explored as water-free solvents for RNA. However, these solvents often contain toxic heavy metals, resulting in biological incompatibility. Additionally, current mRNA vaccines...
