Normalization of DNA and RNA Samples with PIPETMAX® Normalization Assistant

Normalization of DNA and RNA Samples with PIPETMAX® Normalization Assistant

9 Nov 2015

Normalization of the concentration of nucleic acid samples is a crucial yet tedious process that requires constant readjustment of the volume of the pipetting device. PIPETMAX® Normalization Assistant automates this process: calculations are carried out by the software, eliminating arithmetic errors, and pipetting volumes are adjusted automatically. Users can import and export sample information and reports, improving the traceability of the normalization workflow. This application note demonstrates the normalization of three examples of nucleic acids using Normalization Assistant: genomic DNA, cDNA, and RNA.

DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations. Find the best DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.RNA InterferenceRNA interference (RNAi) uses siRNA or miRNA for transcriptional silencing, gene knockdown and regulation of gene expression. RNAi requires chemical synthesis, introduction of DNA vectors into cells, an assay of RNAi effects and RNAi quantification or analysis. Consider target sequence selection, reagent preparation, controls, high specificity and effectiveness and low non-specific gene knockdown.Pipette CalibrationPipette calibration ensures that pipettes are delivering accurate and precise volumes of liquids, which is essential for high-quality scientific research and diagnostics. Calibration is crucial for ensuring reproducibility and reliability in experiments.
