EZ-QC™ mRNA Capping Efficiency Assay Kit
Quantitate mRNA capping efficiency (percent capped RNA content) using standard polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Easy, cost-effective, benchtop method useful for QC as an alternative to HPLC and LC-MS analysis.
The EZ-QC™ mRNA Capping Efficiency Assay Kit provides quantitative capping efficiency, i.e. percent capped RNA content, analysis of synthesized mRNA. This kit uses standard polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis methods that provide a fast, accurate and cost-effective alternative to current HPLC and mass spectrometry capping efficiency analysis. 5'-cap structures can be added co-transcriptionally or post-transcriptionally to in vitro transcribed RNA to produce Cap 0 and/or Cap 1 structures as a step in the mRNA synthesis process. Since only capped RNAs will be expressed in cells, it is important to have the highest possible percentage of capped RNAs present in a sample. Product is for research use only (RUO).
