Norgen’s microScript microRNA cDNA Synthesis Kit is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for the reverse transcription of microRNA from either Total RNA preparations or enriched microRNA preparations. The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the microScript microRNA Enzyme Mix. The kit utilizes Norgen’s microScript Reverse Transcriptase, a mutant version of Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MuLV) Reverse Transcriptase. It has reduced RNase H activity and increased thermal stability.

The workflow of Norgen’s microScript microRNA cDNA Synthesis Kit involves a simple, single-tube set-up by the mixing of 2x Reaction Mix, Enzyme Mix and the RNA template. The reaction can then be carried out in a thermocycler. A poly (A) tail is first added to the RNA template, followed by cDNA synthesis using an adapter primer. In addition to the ease-of-use, the single-tube set-up provides superb consistency and sensitivity. The cDNA could be used in a PCR or qPCR amplification using a Universal PCR Reverse Primer and the forward primer that contains the sequence of the microRNA of interest. A single cDNA preparation could be used for PCR amplification of a number of different microRNAs. In addition, the cDNA preparation could be used for PCR or qPCR detection (using gene-specific forward and reverse primers) of mRNA or large RNA if total RNA preparation was the starting template. This could allow for parallel evaluation of expression level of microRNAs and microRNA-targets.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
Norgen’s microScript microRNA cDNA Synthesis Kit components should be stored at -20°C. These reagents should remain stable for at least 1 year in their unopened containers.

Introduction

This Kit is designed forpurification of high quality circulating DNA (cfDNA) from 1-6ml cell-free bodyfluids (such as plasma, serum). The purified DNA is suitable for direct use indownstream applications such as PCR, real-time PCR, Biochip analysis and NGS.

Principle

This product is based on the purification method of high binding magnetic particles. The sample is lysed and digested under the action of lysate and protease. DNA is released into the lysate. After adding magnetic particles and binding solution, DNA will be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic particles, and impurities such as proteins will be removed without adsorption. The adsorbed particles were washed with washing solution to remove proteins and impurities, washed with ethanol to remove salts, and finally DNA was eluted by elution buffer.

Advantages

• Economy – less than 50% of the price of Qiagen and other imported products
• Automatic – without labour
• High purity – OD 260 / 280 : 1.7-1.9, OD 260 / 230 :1.5-2.0

Storage and Stability

Proteinase K, Carrier RNA and MagPure Particles F should be stored at 2–8°C upon arrival. However, short-term storage (up to 12 weeks) at room temperature (15–25°C) does not affect their performance.Theremaining kit components can be stored dry at room temperature (15–25°C) and are stable for at least 18 months under these conditions.The entire kit can be stored at 2–8°C, but in this case buffers should beredissolved before use. Make sure that all buffers are at room temperature when used.
