Genaxx1Step RT-qPCR COVID-19 CDC Probe Assay Kit

Random Hexamers are short oligodeoxyribonucleotides of random sequence [d(N)6]. Primers are quality controlled (MS), purified (reversed phase HPLC), lyophilised and aliquoted and came with a guaranteed amount of at least 5OD (about 76.1nmol (136.4µg)). Hexanucleotide primers are a mixture of random 5'-hydroxyl hexanucleotides or hexamers, and can be used to quickly and efficiently prepare radioactive or non-radioactive probes using a DNA polymerase and a suitable DNA template or for cDNA synthesis from mRNA. The heterogeneous nature of the random primers ensures that all possible sequences will be represented in the probe mixture. As a result, these primers are well suited for generating as long as possible (complete) transcripts of the RNA, transcribing the 5 'ends, in particular for long RNA templates. As an alternative you can also use Oligo(dT)-Primer > for reverse transcription. Oligo(dT) primer bind to the polyA tail of RNA and therefore transcription will start always at the 3'-end of the RNA. The guaranteed delivery quantity of 5OD, corresponding to approx. 76.1nmol, or 136.4μg, can be dissolved in 760μL DEPC water to give a concentration of 100pmol/μL (100μM), or approx. 180μg/μL. If using between 50ng and 250ng of the hexamers per 20μL reverse transcription reaction, 760μL (100μM) will be sufficient for 460 to 2280 reverse transcriptase reactions.

DNase I is an endonuclease isolated from bovine pancreas that digests double- and single-stranded DNA into oligo- and mono-nucleotides. DescriptionDNAse I is used, among other things, to avoid unwanted cell clumping during tissue disaggregation, which makes dispersion of individual cells difficult. Since tissue disaggregation and subsequent isolation of single cells is always accompanied by rupture and lysis of some cells, DNA is released from these cells into the surrounding medium. The released DNA in the medium is thought to be responsible for undesirable cell clumping during tissue dissociation procedures. This clumping effect can be avoided by adding deoxyribonuclease (DNase) to the dissociation medium and has been described for a variety of different cell and tissue types. DNase I is suitable for eliminating DNA from RNA preparations prior to sensitive applications, such as RT-PCR. Since no RNA purification procedure removes 100% of the DNA, RNA samples should be digested with DNase I before RT-PCR. A simple 15 minute digestion at room temperature removes the contaminating DNA. DNase I is inactivated by adding the stop solution and heating. Heating also denatures the RNA, so the RNA can be used directly for reverse transcription. This DNAse I is not RNase-free and has to be chemically treated if used for RNA isolation procedures.

Sterile distilled water free of DNAses, Rnases and Proteinases. Water treated with DEPC to ensure absence of Rnase. For that reason this water is especially suited for RT-PCR or other molecular biology application where 100% absence of RNAse is necessary (resuspension of DNA, dilution of enzymes, etc.). Genaxxon offers different grades of nuclease free water: sterile, Diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) treated water (M6082 >) and nuclease free water (not DEPC treated) (M6340 >).

Oligo (dT)20 are single stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing only deoxythymine (dT) to be able to prime with the poly(A) tail of mRNA molecules. Primers are quality controlled (MS), purified (reversed phase HPLC), aliquoted and lyophilized and came with a guaranteed amount of at least 5OD (about 27.2nmol (163.7µg)). Oligo (dT)20 Primer is designed to initiate the synthesis of cDNA from total RNA in a reverse transcription reaction, where Reverse Transcriptase, e.g. MMuLV (M3042) > is starting the reaction from the poly-A-end of mRNA. It can also be used for generation of labeled cDNA to screen microarrays. A mixture (1:1 ratio) of random hexamer primers (M3038 >) and Oligo(dT)20 primer may improve the sensitivity of cDNA synthesis as it will especially improve the efficiency of transcripts longer than 600 bp. Guaranteed delivery of at least 5OD (equals about 27.2nmol (163.7µg)). Primers are quality controlled (MS), purified (reversed phase HPLC), lyophilised and aliquoted. Dissolve content (5 OD) in 271.5μL of molecular biology grade water for an end concentration of 100 pmol/μL (100μM). 760μL (100μM) are sufficient for 760 reverse transcriptions of 20μL each. Oligo (dT)20 Primer is suitable for use as a primer for first strand cDNA synthesis with a reverse transcriptase, such as MMuLV or AMV. The primer hybridizes to the poly-adenylated tail found on the 3´ end of most eukaryotic mRNAs. Oligo (dT)20 ensures that the 3´ end of mRNAs are represented. Oligo(dT)20 Primer may be better suited for the new generation of Reverse Transcriptases like SuperScript™ that work at higher temperatures as the longer Oligo(dT)20 Primer enable annealing in reverse transcription reactions at higher temperatures. Applications• cDNA synthesis from total RNA in a reverse transcription reaction.• optimal choice for construction of cDNA libraries from eukaryotic mRNAs.• Full length cDNA cloning• 3’ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3’ RACE)• Generation of labelled cDNA for screening of microarrays.Oligo (dT)20 Primer can not be used together with degraded RNA, prokaryotic RNA or miRNA (lack of poly(A) tail). Primer Sequence: 5´ – d (TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT TT) –3´

Genaxxon´s Total RNA Purification Kit - Tissue is designed for the rapid and efficient purification of high quality RNA from 1-30mg of tissue (fresh or frozen) or up to 25mg Paraffin embedded tissue. The isolation protocol and buffer formulations were optimised for high isolation efficiency and purity of RNA. The Total RNA Purification Kit utilises spin columns with membranes which efficiently and selectively bind nucleic acids at high concentration of chaotropic salts. The isolation procedure consists of 6 steps. In the first isolation step, the tissue is homogenized in order to disintegrate intercellular bonds (epithelial tissue) and fragmentize high-molecular proteins (muscle or connective tissue). Then the homogenate is lysed. Any RNases are inactivated. The three-step washing stage effectively removes impurities and enzyme inhibitors. The purified RNA is eluted using a low ionic strength buffer or RNase-free water and can be used directly in all downstream applications such as RT-PCR, Northern blotting, RT-qPCR and so forth. Genaxxon offers also ceramic beads > for rapid cell disintegration and other RNA purification kits >. With our HotScriptase RT Polymerase >, you can quickly and easily transcribe and amplify RNA into DNA by normal PCR. You do not need a reverse transcriptase and no reverse transcription step. Here you will find further Purification kits >.
