ST. LOUIS, MO, and Taufkirchen,
Germany, 20th January 2006 -
Sigma-Aldrich (Nasdaq: SIAL), a leading
Life Science and High Technology company, is pleased to introduce the
SpyLine Poly A+ Capture Kit (product codes: SPY1 and SPY4). SpyLine is the
newest addition to Sigma's RNA product offerings and is an excellent tool
for rapidly identifying the knockdown of gene expression for functional
profiling of biological processes.
"The SpyLine Poly A+ Capture Kit simplifies
knockdown measurements and gene expression analysis by allowing capture and
amplification of mRNA in a single plate," said Keith Jolliff, Strategic
Marketing Director at Sigma- Aldrich. "We are very excited about the
sensitivity and reproducibility of the kit, making it an excellent addition
to our RNA product offering."
The kit features the SpyLine Poly A+ Capture
Plate, a 96-well PCR plate coated with oligo(dT) for selective capture of
poly A+ mRNA from crude mammalian cell lysates. Reagents can be added
directly to this capture plate for subsequent RT-PCR or real-time
quantitative RT-PCR cycling and analysis. In addition, the 96-well format is
suitable for automation. High throughput protocols are available for the
Biomek®
FX Workstation.
