TruScript Reverse Transcriptase is Available in Three Convenient Formats:
1. TruScript Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Cat.#54440)
This kit contains 5X RT Buffer and a vial of TruScript Enzyme Mix (200 units/µL). This enzyme can be used for reverse-transcription reactions with any user-supplied primers.
2. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Cat.#54420)
This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of total RNA (both poly A- or non-poly A-containing transcripts).
The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and primers (oligo dT and random hexamers) for effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts.
3. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for mRNA (Cat.#54400)
This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of messenger RNA (poly A-containing transcripts).
The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and oligo dT primer for the effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts or enriched mRNA sample.

N-(Boc-PEG4)-N-bis(PEG4-propargyl) is a trifunctional chemical containing two terminal alkynes and a Boc-protected primary amine. The terminal alkynes are used in copper click chemistry with azides to form stable triazole linkages with the target molecule while the carboxylic acids are reactive towards alcohols and primary amines to form esters and amides respectively.

The Opentrons Heater-Shaker Module, compatible with both the OT-2 and Flex robots, provides on-deck heating and orbital shaking of microplates. The module can be heated to 95C, and can shake samples from 200 to 3000 rpm. It is compatible with a number of deep-well and 96-well plates. The Heater-Shaker can be used simultaneously with other Opentrons modules.
The Heater-Shaker GEN1 is compatible with the new Opentrons Flex Robot when paired with the Flex Heater-Shaker Caddy and Calibration Adapter. The caddy sits below the deck to enable below-deck cable routing and labware placed on modules remain closer to the deck surface. The calibration adapter is used to calibrate the location of the module. If you choose to include the Opentrons Flex Caddy and Calibration Adapter, your order will ship in 20 business days.
