Abstract
SOP for RT (Reverse Transcription) Promega kit
Before:
Take from the kit: OligodT, RT buffer (5x), MgCl2, dNTP mix, and H2O to thaw- you can keep them on ice or at RT for a little while.
SOP:
Prepare per sample:
| A | B | |
| total RNA (1 pg-1ug) | max vol 4ul | |
| Water | fill up to 4ul | |
| OligodT | 1ul | |
| final volume =5ul |
Heat samples at 70°C for 5 min (prepare mix for step 4).
Snap freeze samples at +4°C or on ice for a minimum of 5 min.
Prepare RT mix (vol per samples, calculate for all your samples + 1):
| A | B | |
| RT buffer (5X) | 4ul | |
| MgCl2 (25 mM) | 3ul | |
| dNTP Mix (10 mM) | 1 ul | |
| Rnasine* | 0.5 ul | |
| Rtase* | 1 ul | |
| H2O | 5.5ul | |
| final volume= 15 ul |
* add them in the last step before adding the mix to each sample. Meanwhile keep them at 20°C.
Brief centrifugation.
RT program
| A | B | |
| hybridization | 5 min at 25°C | |
| elongation | 60 min at 42°C | |
| inactivation of the enzyme | 15 min at 70°C |
Add 30 ul of H2O to bring volumne to 50 ul.
Once it is done, cDNA can be stored at -20°C
