Invitrogen™ Poly(A) Tail-Length Assay Kit

Invitrogen™ Poly(A) Tail-Length Assay Kit

Poly adenylation of eukaryotic mRNAs plays a critical role in RNA metabolism including stability, enhanced translation, nuclear export and miRNA mediated gene regulation. The Poly(A) Tail-Length Assay Kit allows you to quickly measure the poly(A) tails of multiple mRNAs in only three hours. This kit utilizes a novel G/I extension technique which preserves the 3' end of RNAs and ensures accurate measurement of poly(A) tail-length. And, all reaction components have been optimized so you get quality data quickly.

Features

• Measure the poly(A) tail of multiple RNAs in under 3 hrs using common lab equipment
• Accurate measurement of poly(A) tail length compared to other assays (e.g. northern blotting)
• One kit includes optimized reagents for 5 G/I Tailing, 20 RT and 80 PCR reactions
