I am using Invitrogen Core reagent Kit. According to the protocol the amount of DNA/cDNA needed is 100-500ng. The amount of RNA for cDNA synthesis is 2ug in 20ul reaction. Kindly can anyone could share your opinion/experience here.
Well, don't you have a nanodroper around?
Personal experience:
-reverse translation is sh…
-AFLP is sh…
-Calculation is hazardious…
Well the easiest way is to just mesure your concentration of cDNA to adjust it in every wheel…
a spreadsheet with automatic formula to determine what volume of cDNA solution and which volume of buffer to get whatever is needed…
TQ...will try that first..:-)

Here is the RNA RIN sheet. The are some extra bands appeared in all my samples. I wonder what these bands are.
