DESCRIPTION
biotechrabbit™ cDNA Synthesis Kit provides superior components that ensure efficient first-strand cDNA
synthesis from mRNA or total RNA templates. biotechrabbit RevertUP™ II Reverse Transcriptase enables highly
efficient reverse transcription with increased thermostability.
biotechrabbit RNase Inhibitor is a potent non-competitive inhibitor of RNases. The combination of highly efficient
cDNA synthesis, effective RNase inhibition and pure dNTPs allows high yields of cDNAs of more than 19 kb.
For greater application flexibility, hexamer primers, allowing all RNAs in the reaction to be used as templates, and
an oligo (dT) primer, for the synthesis of cDNA from only poly(A) tailed mRNA, are included.
PROTOCOL
Prevention of cDNA synthesis reaction contamination
RNase contamination is an exceptional concern when working with RNA. RNase A, providing most threat to RNA
integrity, is a highly stable contaminant of any laboratory. To prevent RNA from degradation and to minimize
possibility of contamination during cDNA synthesis; follow the guidelines below:
· Use separate clean areas for preparation of the samples and the reaction mixture.
· DEPC-treat all tubes and pipette tips or use certified nuclease-free labware with aerosol filters.
· Wear fresh gloves when handling RNA and all reagents.
· Always assess the integrity of RNA prior to cDNA synthesis in denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis.
· Use RNase free water and other reagents.
· To prevent RNA from degradation, add Ribonuclease inhibitor (optional) in to the cDNA synthesis
reaction (20 units for 20 µl reaction).
