High Quality Standard cDNA Libraries

High Quality Standard cDNA Libraries are produced using our proprietary technology. First strand cDNA is made from mRNA that is primed using oligo dT. After the second strand is synthesized, the double stranded cDNA is size fractionated, cloned directionally into our Express I vector and transformed into T1 phage resistant E. coli. We guarantee at least 3x106 primary clones with ³87% recombinant clones containing an average insert size of at least 1kb, however, we generally produce libraries of 10x106 primary clones with >95% recombinant clones containing ³1.5kb average insert size.

We will make standard libraries from customer supplied tissue (
³1 g), cells (at least 1x108), total RNA (³1 mg) or mRNA (³5 µg). We provide quality controlled primary or amplified libraries.

 
Features list:
  • High quality size fractionated cDNA.
  • Directionally cloned cDNA for expression, antibody screening, subtraction and normalization.
  • Large numbers of primary clones.
  • Low vector background.
 
Quality testing: Percentage of recombinant clones and average insert size determined by gel analysis of 24 clones picked at random.
 
Shipment and storage conditions: Libraries will be shipped in dry ice. Storage of libraries at
-80°C is recommended.
