The role of miRNA in parthenogenesis of every pathological condition is highly appreciated. So there continues to be a demand for the right miRNA cDNA kit for proper quantification of the miRNA. Mir-X miRNA first stand cDNA kit provides a good solution for miRNA quantification. The unique smart M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase is very efficient in cDNA conversion of the miRNA.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

miRNA quantification

Starting Material

Total RNA

Protocol Overview

5 microgram of good quality total RNA was treated with DNAse to degrade the DNA in the sample. Now the RNA is used for cDNA synthesis. The RNA is incubated at 37 degrees with 2XRQ buffer and mRQ enzyme to the final volume of 10 microliter. After one hour the sample is diluted with 90 microliters of nuclease free water.

Tips

Always use a good quality total RNA

Results Summary

The miRNAs can be quantified using miRNA specific forward primer and the 3' universal primer provided in the kit. The U6 primers provided in the kit is used as the reference gene.
