Do you recommend use of the CometAssay® (4250-050-K) with whole blood?
FAQ from Trevigen
We do not recommend using whole blood with the CometAssay® because sample preparation is critcial and hemoglobin could damage DNA. It's important to note that red blood cells (major blood component) do not have a nucleus (i.e. genomic DNA) and therefore not suitable for use with CometAssay™.
