I must admit we just sort cells in a sterile fashion as we would for
culture experiments, provided the cells remain intact there is not a
big problem. There again if we extract RNA from cultured cells we
don't do RNAse-free cultures, and we certainly don't have any
RNAse-free people for fresh isolates. The main thing seems to be to
wash the cells well and make sure the RNAse protection in the lysis
buffer is adequate.
Have fun
