Amsbio's range of Universal Reference Products (RNA, cDNA and Protein Lysate) has been expanded to include standards for studies involving humans, as well as for monkey, dog, mouse, rat and chicken.
These products provide controls for high-throughput PCR, RNA microarray and antibody array studies.
All Amsbio Universal Reference Products are derived from diverse tissue sets (from male and female donors) and manufactured on an industrial scale, to ensure the broadest coverage of genes and to minimise lot-to-lot variation.
Universal RNA from Amsbio is total RNA isolated from sources by modified guanidine thiocyanate techniques.
Universal RNA can be used as controls for optimising and troubleshooting single- and two-colour microarray studies.
Universal cDNA is prepared by reverse transcribing Amsbio's Universal RNA by random hexamer or oligo dT primer.
Total RNA is isolated by modified guanidine thiocyanate techniques.
Universal cDNA from Amsbio can be used as controls for real-time PCR and regular PCR, and also as gene pools for cloning genes.
Universal Protein Lysate from Amsbio is total protein isolated from whole tissue sources.
It can be used as controls for comparison of protein expression and antibody microarray studies.
