October 1, 2003 6:51 am | Articles | CommentsCEM Corporation's Odyssey™ System provides microwave-enhanced peptide synthesis that is fast, and that produces clean peptides and high yields. Peptides can be synthesized in 2 hours, and cycle times are less than 10 minutes.
Maximizing The Yield Of Full-Length RNA From An In Vitro Transcription Reaction
September 17, 2003 6:26 am | Articles | CommentsThe quality and quantity of RNA produced in an in vitro transcription reaction depends upon a number of factors, including RNA transcript size, template concentration, reaction time and temperature. These parameters can be modified to optimize the yield of full-length RNA from the transcription reaction.
