The HiScribe T7 Quick High Yield RNA Synthesis Kit is designed for quick set-up and production of large amounts of RNA in vitro. The reaction can be set up conveniently by combining the NTP buffer mix, T7 RNA Polymerase mix and a suitable DNA template. The kit also allows for capped RNA or dye-labeled RNA synthesis by incorporation of cap analog (ARCA, NEB #S1411) or dye-modified nucleotides. RNA synthesized with the kit can be used for RNA structure and function studies, ribozyme biochemistry, as probes for RNase protection assays and hybridization based blots, anti-sense RNA and RNAi experiments, microarray analysis and microinjection, as well as in vitro translation and RNA vaccines.
