Description 

The ExcelRT™ Reverse Transcriptase is a recombinant Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MLV) reverse transcriptase – an RNA dependent DNA polymerase capable of generating first strand cDNA using an RNA template. It is designed to reduce RNase H activity and create better thermal stability. The ExcelRT™ Reverse Transcriptase is able to routinely synthesize first strand cDNA >8 kb at 37~50°C.

Features

• High yield
• Thermostable, up to 50°C, during first strand synthesis
• High processivity, generating cDNA up to 8 kb
• Reduced RNase H ribonuclease activity

Application

• Generation of first strand cDNA from total RNA or mRNA.
• Suitable for generating cDNA from RNA with strong secondary structure which can be reduced at temperature up to 50°C.

Storage

Plasmid MiniPrep Kit & High Throughput Kit (Magnetic Beads)

The kits were developed for plasmid miniprep directly from bacterial cultures. 100% centrifuge-free; NO vacuum needed; No column needed.

Plasmid MiniPrep Kit (Magnetic Beads), Cat.# 50012
– Use 2 ml of bacteria culture directly

Plasmid MiniPrep High Throughput Kit (Magnetic Beads), Cat.# 50011
– High throughput: Use 0.2 ml of bacteria culture directly with 96-well plates
– Low throughput: Use 0.2 ml of bacteria culture directly with 1.5 ml tubes

The kits can be used for both high copy and low copy numbers of plasmid DNA. With BioDynami’s proprietary magnetic beads technology, the kits eliminate the requirement of centrifuge, vacuum, and column. Our magnetic beads provide a robust and reliable tool for both high throughput and low throughput applications of plasmid DNA isolation with high binding capacity and fast magnetic response time.

The High Through kit (Cat.# 50011) can be used for both high throughput and low throughput extraction of plasmid DNA. Up to 96 samples can be extracted simultaneously when using a 96-well plate.

Yield of plasmid DNA may vary dependent on the bacteria strain, plasmid type, copy numbers, and growth conditions etc. DNA extracted using the kit is suitable for downstream applications such as qPCR, PCR, DNA sequencing, molecular cloning, restriction enzymatic digestion, transfection, and transformation etc. The isolated plasmid DNA with the magnetic beads is free of contaminations such as RNA, bacterial DNA, proteins, and other impurities.

Plasmid DNA were loaded on 1% of agarose gel after extraction.
