    concentration of DNA with acceptable purity but failed to produce true amplification in the qRT-PCR assay until after being ‘cleaned’ with Bioline Sureclean ® DNA Purification kit. Based on the literature, it is probable an inhibitory contaminate originating either with the anticoagulant used at harvest or other innate whole blood polysaccharides caused inhibition of the enzymes used in qRT-PCR amplification. This suggests special attention also needs to be focused on pre-assay protocols to identify
