Directions for use |
Assay Procedure: - Mix and heat the RNA Template, 2X Reaction Mix, and Primers to 65 °C for 5 minutes. Allow the RNA Template to stand in an ice bath for at least 1 minute.
- Add the following components to a PCR tube on ice:
Component | Volume | RNA Template | Variable 10 pg - 2 µg total RNA or 10 pg - 500 ng mRNA) | 2X Reaction Mix | 10 µl | Primers | 1 µl | Enzyme Mix | 2 µl (200 U) | RNase Inhibitor | 1 µl (20-40 U) | Water | Variable, up to 20 µl | Total Volume | 20 µl | - Mix by gently pipetting up and down.
- Close the lid on the tube and incubate in a temperature-controlled water bath at 55 °C for 50 minutes for the extension step.
Note: the optimal temperature for extension is likely between 42-60 °C. - Incubate the tube at 70 °C for 15 minutes to inactivate the Reverse Transcriptase before amplification.
Notes: - Avoid cross-contaminating the RNA template (total RNA, synthetic RNA transcript, poly(A) + mRNA) with DNA.
- Recommended primers (per 20 µl reaction):
- 2.5 µM of oligo(dT) - anneal to 3'-poly(A) + mRNA
- 2.5 ng/µl of random primers - anneal at non-specific sites of RNA templates
- 2 µM of gene-specific primers
