# Add 120 uL binding solution to the first strand reaction. | |||
# Transfer reaction to a SNAP column provided. | |||
# Spin at 13K for 20s. | |||
# Remove the cartridge and transfer flow through to a new microcentrifuge tube. Save until cDNA recovery is confirmed. | |||
# Add 400 uL cold wash buffer to the spin cartridge, replaced in microcentrifuge tube. | |||
# Spin at 13K for 20s. | |||
# Repeat wash '''three''' more times. | |||
# Wash the cartridge twice with 400 uL cold 70C | |||
# After second wash, centrifuge 1 min at 13K to removed residual ethanol. | |||
# Transfer cartridge into a clean recovery tube. Add 50 uL of preheated water. | |||
# Spin at 13K for 20s. | |||
===TdT Tailing of cDNA=== | |||
# To a new tube add the following: | |||
## 6.5uL DEPC Treated water. | |||
## 5uL 5X tailing buffer. | |||
## 2.5uL 2mM dCTP. | |||
## 10 uL Purified cDNA. | |||
# Incubate at 94C for 2-3 min. This and the next two steps are in the PCR program '''5' RACE TdT'''. | |||
# Add 1 uL TdT, mix and incubate 10 min at 37C. | |||
# Heat inactivate at 65C for 10min. | |||
