Pipet 8ul of master mix into each reaction tube on ice

Incubate in the PCR machine as the following :

  • If use Oligo(dT) as the primer = 60 min at 50°C
  • If use Random Hexamer as the primer = 25°C for 10 min followed by 50 min at 50°C

Terminate the reaction by incubating at 85°C for 5 min

Store the reaction at -20°C or used for PCR immediately
