English translation:phenol-chloroform extraction of human buffy coat samples
Explanation:
Buffy coat - a white blood cell preparation.
Phenol chloroform extraction- a very caustic extraction medium which denatures almost all proteins etc, leaving nucleotides intact,hence routinely used for the isolation of RNA. I would guess this refers to the isolation of total RNA from human buffy coat fractions.
