Sunflower cDNA is extracted from freshly harvested plant leaves using classical liquid/liquid RNA extraction method and column purified. RNA is treated with RNase-free DNase-1to remove residual DNA, precisely quantified, and stored at -80oC.
Quality Control: The integrity of each RNA sample as indicated by intact ribosomal RNA is verified by denatured agarose gel electrophoresis. The purity of RNA is assessed by spectrophotometer (A260/A280: 1.9-2.1). Residual DNA contamination is tested by PCR.
The synthesized cDNA is also tested as template for PCR amplification of a house-keeping gene. PCR product was visualized on 1% agarose gel.
Applications: cDNA is ideal for gene expression analysis by PCR, characterization of alternative splicing of mRNA, verification of genetic mutation, gene cloning and target sequencing.
Packing/shipping: each cDNA sample is routinely shipped on dry ice in 1.5 ml vials and is enough for 30 reactions (30 PCR amplifications).
