1. Introduction
There are not many studies on pre-analysis variables that affect the clinical usefulness of miRNA with sufficient biological potential. However, it was judged that it was important to find a more suitable blood sample for reliable results of circulating miRNA quantities in a clinical experimental environment. Therefore, we tested the effects of various environments such as additives, centrifugation speed, blood coagulation process, and cell contamination in the blood collection container

3. Procedure
[sample collection]
1. Blood of healthy adults was collected to EDTA, sodium citrate, SST, and plain containers.
2. All samples are centrifuged under two conditions (1) 795 g/ 20 minutes and (2) 15,000 g/ 10 minutes in the refrigerator (4℃) and collected supernatant.
3. Centrifugated plasma and serum were collected into 2/3 upper and 1/3 lower layers, and the number of blood cells (WBC, RBC, and PLT) was measured, respectively.
4. Arbitrarily separated mononuclear cells (serial dilution: 10,000, 1,000, 100, 50, 25, 12 WBCs in 400uL serum) was added to the serum that underwent additional high-speed centrifugation.
5. The blood in the sodium citrate, plain container was dispensed immediately after blood collection, and centrifuged after 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30 minutes passed.

Find △Ct in target and compare and analyze.
- (△Ct value = target substracting the cel-miR-39 Ct value)
4. Results
4. Results
- As the 7-day sample storage time passed, the amount of change increased in plasma than serum and room temperature than refrigeration temperature.
- As the number of arbitrarily added mononuclear cells increases, the amount of mi RNA also increases.
- Plasma has a large range of changes in the upper/ lower layers, while little changes in serum
- In plasma, the higher the centrifugation rate, the significantly smaller the amount of mi RNA, while there is no significant difference in serum
- The amount of mi RNA tends to increase during the blood clotting process, but it is not a significant difference.

5. Precautions
- When collecting plasma and serum supernatants, move from the surface of the sample to follow the pipette tip.
