Description
Formerly DNA Extraction Control 560.
DNA Extraction Control not only enables users of a diagnostic qPCR assay to determine if there are inhibitors in the PCR assay, but also to validate the success of the extraction step, reducing the chance of obtaining a false negative result in the sample DNA.Product Highlights
- Simple - streamlined protocol for straightforward validation of DNA extraction and determination of qPCR assay inhibition
- Sensitive - control assay identifies even small effects on DNA extraction and inhibition of amplification
- Optimized - control DNA has a sequence with no known homology to any organism thereby avoiding detection of sample DNA
- Specific - probe-based assay designed specifically for real-time PCR assays
- Flexible - ideal for use with a wide range of sample types, including inhibitor-rich samples like blood, urine and sputum samples
Product Description
A common practice in qPCR is to add a known amount of spiked control DNA after DNA extraction, this monitors PCR inhibition but has no value as an extraction control. The ideal situation is to have the test sample and internal control undergo the same processing prior to qPCR. Meridian has developed the qPCR Extraction Control, which more closely mimics the test sample, as compared to spike controls. Genetic material from the test sample and the qPCR Extraction Control is simultaneously extracted by common extraction methods, with the extraction control being as sensitive to inhibition and extraction failure as the test sample.
The qPCR Extraction Control cells are of a known concentration, containing the Internal Control DNA sequence. This sequence contains no known homology to any organism and, importantly, has minimal interference with detection of sample DNA. The qPCR Extraction Control cells are spiked into the lysis buffer with the target sample, prior to DNA extraction. Control Mix, which includes primers and probe, is then added to the reaction mix before amplification. Signal derived from the Internal Control DNA confirms the success of the extraction step. qPCR Extraction Control also monitors co-purification of PCR inhibitors that may cause biased or false amplification patterns.

对于新手来说购买反转录试剂盒是比较理想的,买一个kit看看说明书操作就可以了。推荐两款kit TAKARA和HaiGene,这两款试剂盒都能对RNA样品中的gDNA有效去除,因此对RNA质量的要求不高。TAKARA的RR047A操作方便,反转录温度为37℃,对于大多数试验来讲是满足要求的。HaiGene的D0401操作要多一个步骤,但其反转录温度是55℃(耐高温的反转录酶),提高了反转录温度使得高GC含量、复杂模板、长mRNA的模板都能有效反转录,因此其反转录效率更高,更能够获得样本中基因的真实表达量。如果后续试验是RealTime PCR、ORF克隆、高GC含量、或者你的待研究基因结构复杂程度未知,还是选用耐高温的反转录酶更理想。对于反转录高手来说,直接购买反转录酶、再购买Rnase Inhibitor自己配制反转录体系就可以了。对于样本量大的课题组来讲,相对还是比较经济的。选择反转录酶时仅需要考虑是否需要耐高温的酶,来克服目的基因的复杂结构就可以了。PROMEGA、TAKARA、HaiGene、 TRANSGEN等品牌的反转录酶性价比还都是不错的。Life、NEB的也不错,不过性价比一般,不一一解释了。
