Qiagen recalls RNeasy DSP FFPE Kit (48) REF 73604 due to a contaminant in deparaffinization solution causing reduced RNA yields. Affected lots include 163016105. Users should contact Qiagen for details.
The deparaffinization solution contains a contaminant, which leads to reduced lysis efficiency of the affected lot, resulting in significantly reduced yields and less sensitive downstream applications.
Qiagen is recalling the RNeasy DSP FFPE Kit (48) REF 73604 because a contaminant in the deparaffinization solution leads to lower RNA yields and less sensitive downstream applications. This affects professional users like lab technicians and physicians working with FFPE tissues.
The deparaffinization solution contains a contaminant that reduces the efficiency of RNA purification. This leads to significantly lower RNA yields and less sensitive downstream applications, but does not cause physical harm or injury.
Professional users such as lab technicians and physicians trained in molecular biology who work with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. The risk is low as the issue only affects RNA yield quality, not safety.
Check for the product name 'RNeasy DSP FFPE Kit (48)' and reference number REF 73604. The affected lot number is 163016105. This product is used for RNA purification in labs.
