Ambion offers brain mRNA

u could sacrifice an animal and isolate the medulla and prepare RNA from the sample.

Thks but our lab doesn't deal with animals and I don't have a licence to handle animals. There is commercial brain mRNA available but I need multiple samples and the costs will add up.

If you browse www.biochain.com, you should find all the products there. they provide custom made products for multiple donor inquiries. Good luck!
