Picture Blog — Making mRNAs by In Vitro Transcription for Transgene Expression and R-iPSCs

R-iPS Cell FAQ 2:
What is the expected yield from the in vitro trancription (IVT) reactions?
Performed as described, you should recover around 40 ug RNA from each 40 uL IVT reaction.

R-iPS Cell FAQ 3:
How can the success of the RNA synthesis protocol be assessed?
Run 500 ng (5 uL) of the concentration-adjusted products on an E-gel to check for consistent product yield and relative product sizes, and to confirm the absence of secondary bands or smears.

mRNAs can be effectively produced through in vitro transcription
