Mouse Universal Reference cDNA-Oligo dT is a full length first strand cDNA synthesized from Zyagen universal reference total RNA which is isolated from all tissues of several adult male and female C57BL/6 mice using modified guanidine thiocyanate techniques.
The cDNA is primed with oligo dT primer and can be used in gene cloning, target sequencing and as a control for gene expression analysis by regular PCR and real time PCR. Each cDNA product is enough for 40 PCR reactions.
Features:
- Synthesized from high quality intact universal reference total RNA
- Consistent control for standard data set comparisons
- Prepared from all mouse tissues for broad gene coverage
- Made at industrial scales to minimize lot-to-lot variation.
Quality Control: The integrity of each RNA sample used for cDNA synthesis 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 used as template PCR amplification of ß-actin gene. PCR product of ß-actin was visualized on 1% agarose gel.
Applications: cDNA is ideal as a control for gene expression analysis by real time and regular PCR, characterization of alternative splicing of mRNA, verification of genetic mutation, gene cloning and target sequencing.
Packing/shipping: each universal reference cDNA sample is routinely shipped on dry ice in 1.5 ml vials and is enough for 40 reactions (40 PCR amplifications).
