Today's laboratory demands often require products and services that fall
outside the range of standard kit configurations and sizes from typical
life science reagent companies. Specialized protocols may quickly consume
reagents in large volumes. For these situations, Ambion's kits, reagents,
and enzymes are all available in bulk sizes that can save both time and
resources.
Our most popular bulk-sized kits include:
• 5X MEGAscript® High Yield Transcription Kit,
• 5X MessageAmp™ II aRNA Kit for RNA amplification for array
analysis
• 5X mMESSAGE mMACHINE® High Yield Capped RNA Transcription
Kit.
5X MEGAscript Kit Enables Efficient Crystallography
Dr. Barbara Golden's laboratory (Purdue University) used Ambion's 5X
MEGAscript High Yield Transcription Kit to transcribe milligram quantities
of RNA--3.75 mg purified group I intron from bacteriophage Twort--for
crystallography (Figure 1). The superior performance of this kit led to
increased product concentrations, which reduced sample volumes and improved
the efficiency of subsequent purification steps. Three to five mg/ml RNA
generated with this bulk reagent kit allows production of 250-1000 crystallization
drops for X-ray crystallography.
