Efficient, Sensitive and Accurate
Highly efficient poly(A) tailing and reverse transcription in a single reaction tube provides uniform cDNA synthesis of microRNAs. The optimized reaction conditions and buffer components maximize cDNA yield using anywhere from several micrograms to picograms of input total RNA. The universal 3′ tag sequence incorporated during reverse transcription enables the ease of scalable and accurate microRNA expression analysis by qPCR. Profile 1000 differentmicroRNAs from a single reverse transcription reaction.
Sensitive
Start with total, Trizol-extracted RNA or fractionated small RNA samples. Achieve measurements from several micrograms to picograms of input RNA with excellent accuracy. Detect microRNA expression changes in a dynamic range of at least 6 log-fold differences.
