Performing Reverse Transcription
Summary
Synthesis of cDNA from total RNA samples using the High Capacity
cDNA Archive Kit (PN 4322171) is the first step in the two-step
RT-PCR gene expression quantification experiment.
Use the manual method for converting total RNA into cDNA, as
specified in the High Capacity cDNA Archive Kit Protocol
(PN 4322169).
Note: The protocol is not shipped with the High Capacity cDNA
Archive Kit. You must download the protocol from the
Applied Biosystems Documents on Demand Web site at
http://docs.appliedbiosystems.com/search.taf
To search for the document, select ABI P
RISM
™
6100 Nucleic Acid
PrepStation under Products and click Search. The protocol is listed
under the Protocols heading.
