Nanodrop uv vis spectrophotometer q5000

Manufactured by Quawell
Sourced in United States

The Nanodrop (UV-Vis spectrophotometer Q5000) is a compact, robust, and user-friendly instrument designed for the analysis of DNA, RNA, and protein samples. It utilizes a unique patented sample retention system that requires only 1-2 microliters of sample for measurement, making it ideal for applications where sample volume is limited. The instrument provides accurate and reliable absorbance measurements in the UV-Vis range, allowing users to quantify and assess the purity of their samples.

In compliance with the manufacturer's instructions, TRIzol reagent was used to extract total RNA using the (Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). The purity and concentration of the RNA extracted were verified using a Nanodrop (UV-Vis spectrophotometer Q5000/Quawell, USA). After that, the MultiScribe kits of RT enzyme (Applied Biosystems,USA) were utilized to synthesize cDNA. The analysis of triplicate real-time PCR was performed on the resultant cDNA using a System of 7500 Real-Time PCR (Foster City, California, USA: Applied Biosystems) and Master Mix for Power SYBR Green PCR (Applied Biosystems, USA). The variation in fold in the mRNA levels of the measured genes was normalized using the expression of GAPDH, a typical housekeeping gene. Different genes' mRNA expression fold change was evaluated compared to the control. Table 2 contains the gene accession codes and primer sequences. Thus, the 2 -∆∆Ct approach was used to equalize the target gene's critical threshold (Ct) quantities with the gene of housekeeping amounts (Ct) [34] (link).

RNA Extraction and cDNA Synthesis from Liver Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver tissue samples (n = 10) were collected and placed in liquid nitrogen, then stored at −80 °C until analysis. The total RNA was extracted using TRI reagent (easy-RED™, iNtRON Biotechnology, South Korea), following the manufacturer’s protocol. The integrity and quality of RNA was verified using 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. The RNA concentration was determined using Nano drop (UV–Vis spectrophotometer Q5000, Quawell, San Jose, CA, USA). The RNA sample was reverse transcribed to the first strand cDNA using the SensiFAST™ cDNA synthesis kit (Bioline, UK), then stored at −20 °C until analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
