STEP
1 |
Optional:
RNA extraction (highly recommended). |
|
|
|
- Check the proper box on the RNA Submission Form.
|
|
STEP
2 |
Required:
260/280 absorbance ratio. |
|
|
- The 260/280 ratio should be 1.8-2.0
for each RNA sample.
|
- Check the proper box on the RNA Submission Form.
|
|
STEP
3 |
Required:
Photograph of the RNA gel. |
|
|
- Check the proper box on the RNA Submission Form.
|
|
STEP 4 |
Required:
Proper Preparation of the RNA for
microarray analysis |
|
|
- Total RNA is labeled more efficiently with Cy-3 and Cy-5
than is poly(A)+ RNA and is the preferred form.
- For each labeling reaction, template RNA must be frozen in
10ml of RNase-free water at the concentrations listed below.
| RNA Type |
Concentration (ug/ul) |
Volume / Reaction |
| Total |
2.0mg/ml |
10ml (20mg) |
| Poly(A)+ |
0.1mg/ml |
10ml (1mg) |
-
If the RNA is >2mg/ml
for total RNA or >0.1mg/ml for poly(A)+ RNA, dilute to the
required 2mg/ml concentration.
-
If the RNA is <2mg/ml
for total RNA or <0.1mg/ml for poly(A)+ RNA, dry down
20mg of
total RNA or 1mg of poly(A)+ RNA and resuspend in
10ml RNase-free water.
-
We will
not accept RNA samples that are not at the required
concentrations.
-
On the RNA Information
Table (page 3) of the RNA Submission Form,
write down in the
"Conc. mg/ml" column the concentration of
each RNA sample.
-
On the RNA Information
Table (page 3) of the RNA Submission Form,
place a checkmark in the "Volume 10ml or more"
column if the volume of each RNA sample is 10ul or
greater.
-
Two RNA samples are used per slide.
On the RNA Information Table (page 3) of the RNA
Submission Form, write down in the "RNA
Samples" column the names of the RNA samples that
are to be used for a given slide.
- Place a selected title for the experiment in the
indicated box. Place a checkmark in the appropriate
box if your
experiment is to be carried out in triplicate.
