Company:

Qiagen

Product Name:

RT2 First Strand Kit

Catalog Number:

330404

I used this kit to screen positive colonies of transformants of ESAT6. It has a genomic DNA removal step which helps to avoid genomic DNA contamination in qPCR/RT-PCR. I would recommend this kit to my colleagues for quick and efficient cDNA synthesis.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Reverse transcriptase PCR

Starting Material

Total RNA

Protocol Overview

I used 1 microgram of RNA to synthesize cDNA from different colonies.

Tips

None

Results Summary

I got most of the positive colonies from my screening.

Additional Notes

In this image, I am showing amplification of the amplicillin resistance gene, that was used an internal loading control.
