[ High efficiency RNA extraction from low numbers of cells ]

Hi everybody,

I am a new member to the cytometry mailing list and have just started my basic science
research. I am working on sorting SP cells based on Hoechst analysis and would like to
isolate RNA from this small cell population (10,000-20,000cells). I was isolating the
cells directly in Trizol on ice but this is not giving me a good RNA integrity. Does
anybody have a protocol for isolation of small cell populations and then RNA isolation
from them which gives a good yield and quality of RNA. 
I am very new to research and hope somebody can help me with this,
Thanks in advance.
