TotalScript <strong>RNA</strong>-<strong>Seq</strong> <strong>Kit</strong><br />

Required Reagents <strong>for</strong> TotalScript Library Prep <strong>Kit</strong>:<br />

Agencourt AMPure XP <strong>Kit</strong> (Beckman Coulter, cat. no. A63881)<br />

2X Phusion® High Fidelity PCR Master Mix with HF Buffer (NEB, Cat. No. M0531) or<br />

2X Phusion® High Fidelity PCR Master Mix with GC Buffer (NEB, Cat. No. M0532)<br />

10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8<br />

Optional Reagent:<br />

TotalScript Index <strong>Kit</strong>, Cat No. TSIDX12910, 11 indexes<br />

(Refer to Appendix C <strong>for</strong> Index <strong>Seq</strong>uences)<br />

2. Be<strong>for</strong>e starting<br />

DNA-Free <strong>RNA</strong><br />

Treat the <strong>RNA</strong> sample with DNase I to remove all traces of DNA. Then, remove the DNase I<br />

prior to the TotalScript cDNA synthesis procedure.<br />

<strong>RNA</strong> Quality<br />

For best results, use intact, non-fragmented <strong>RNA</strong> samples with RIN >7 as assayed using a<br />

Bioanalyzer.<br />

Amount of <strong>RNA</strong><br />

TotalScript is optimized <strong>for</strong> 1-5 ng of total <strong>RNA</strong> input, without any prior ribosomal<br />

<strong>RNA</strong> removal or poly(A) enrichment. It is crucial to carefully quantify total <strong>RNA</strong> prior to<br />

beginning. For optimal results, do not exceed the maximum amount of <strong>RNA</strong> (5 ng).<br />

cDNA Primer and Buffer Combination<br />

The choice of 1st strand cDNA primer and 1st strand cDNA Buffer to use in the 1st strand<br />

cDNA synthesis procedure (step 3) and the attributes of the resulting TotalScript library<br />

are dependent on the <strong>RNA</strong> sample.<br />

a) When using Total <strong>RNA</strong> sample:<br />

Follow the procedure in Part 3.A. For best results use the TotalScript Optimized Buffer.<br />

Then, use these guidelines <strong>for</strong> the choice of cDNA primer that best meets your needs.<br />
