NOTE
Peak ratios for the RNA ladder may vary from one batch of RNA 6000 ladder to the
next. Assay performance will not be affected by this variation.
5. For the Eukaryote or Prokaryote Total RNA assay, the RNA fragments (either 18S and
28S for eukaryotic RNA or 16S and 23S for prokaryotic RNA) are detected. After
detection, the ratio of the fragment areas is calculated and displayed.
6. To calculate the concentration of the RNA, the area under the entire RNA
electropherogram is determined. The ladder, which provides the concentration/area
ratio, is applied to transform the area values into concentration values.
