High Sensitivity RNA Quantification Kit, 100 assays
Cat. No.: BM-F1000-RHS-100
Description
The Accuris RNA High Sensitivity (HS) Quantification Kit offers a simple, accurate, and highly sensitive method for RNA quantification. Designed with preferential selectivity for RNA over single-stranded (ssDNA) and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) (see figure below), this kit reliably detects RNA concentrations ranging from 100 pg/μL to 100 ng/μL.
Compared to conventional RNA quantification kits, the Accuris RNA HS Kit provides significant advantages in stability, linear dynamic range, and sensitivity. Each kit includes all necessary components for accurate quantification: RNA HS Reagent, RNA HS Buffer and two RNA Standards The assay is performed at room temperature. Simply prepare the working solution by diluting the RNA reagent in the RNA buffer, add your sample, and measure the RNA concentration using a compatible fluorometer or plate reader.

Critical Assay Parameters:
Incubation Time: For optimal RNA detection, incubate samples and standards with the working solution for 2–3 minutes in the dark at room temperature.
Fluorometer Calibration: Users may either use a previous calibration or perform a new calibration. To ensure the highest accuracy and minimize deviations, we recommend running a new calibration for each assay.
Assay Temperature: The Accuris RNA HS Quantification Kit is designed for optimal performance at room temperature. All reagents must be fully equilibrated to room temperature before use. RNase-Free Setting: Since RNA is inherently unstable, all work involving RNA, including RNA HS quantification, should be conducted in an RNase-free environment to prevent degradation.
Effect of Contaminants: The Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit exhibits high tolerance to common contaminants, including proteins, salts, solvents, and detergents, ensuring reliable and consistent quantification.

Standards and Sample Preparation:
This protocol provides instructions on how to use the Accuris ssDNA Quantification Kit with the Accuris Smart Q and Qubit fluorometers.
1. Allow all components of the Accuris RNA HS Quantification Kit to reach room temperature.
2. Prepare the required number of assay tubes, accounting for the two standards (Use ONLY 0.5 mL thin-wall PCR
3. Label the sample and standard tubes on the lid.
4. Prepare the working solution by diluting the Accuris
5. Add 10 μL of Standard #1 and Standard #2 to the appropriately labeled tubes. Add 1-50 μL of unknown samples to the appropriately labeled tubes (see below).
6. Thoroughly mix the samples and standards, then incubate the tubes at room temperature in the dark for 2-3 minutes.

Standards and Sample Measurements
Standard Curve:
1. On the Home screen, select RNA, then choose RNA:High Sensitivity.
2. Insert standard 1 into a reading chamber and select start symbol followed by pressing the read symbol.
3. After selecting concentration units, choose calibrate followed by Read Standards.
4. Replace standard tube 1 with standard 2 and select Read standards to obtain reading for the second standard.
5. Select Save to save the standard curve. Note: this curve may be re-used for subsequent sample readings. We recommend to prepare new standard curve each time assay is performed.
Sample Quantification:
1. On the fluorometer screen, enter the volume of the unknown sample, then select the Start icon.
. Once the fluorometer completes the quantification, the sample concentration and Relative Fluorescence Units (RFU) will be displayed on the screen.
3. Remove the sample, insert the next sample into the test chamber, and select the Start icon.
4. Repeat Step 3 until all samples have been quantified. Note: At any point during quantification, the fluorometer screen can be swiped left to display all recorded concentrations from the current experiment, with options to print or export the results. Selecting the Calculator function allows users to calculate the molarity of the sample (note: the RNA length must be entered for accurate quantification).
5. After completing the quantification process, turn off the fluorometer.

The Accuris™ Smart-Q™ 100 & Smart-Q™ 800 Fluorometers are designed for the precise quantification of DNA, RNA, and protein samples. By utilizing well-established methodologies for fluorescence detection, the Smart-Q Fluorometers provide higher specificity and enhanced accuracy compared to the traditional method of UV-absorbance detection. Accurate results are particularly crucial in workflows involving:
ssDNA Quantification KitThe Accuris ssDNA Kit provides a simple and accurate method for quantifying single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or oligonucleotides. The assay kit is accurate at detecting ssDNA between 0.05-200 ng/µL. While the kit is not selective for ssDNA over double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) or RNA, it does not detect contaminating proteins or nucleotides. Additionally, the kit demonstrates insensitivity to low concentrations of common contaminants such as proteins, salts, solvents, and detergents RNA High Sensitivity Quantification KitThe Accuris RNA High Sensitivity Quantification Kit offers a reliable and accurate method for measuring RNA concentration. This assay is highly selective for RNA over double-stranded and single-stranded DNA and can detect RNA concentrations ranging from 0.1 ng/μL to 100 ng/μL RNA Broad Range Quantification KitThe Accuris RNA Broad Range Quantification Kit enables precise and reliable RNA quantification. This assay exhibits high specificity for RNA over single stranded and double-stranded DNA, allowing for the detection of RNA concentrations ranging from 1 ng/μL to 1000 ng/μL. This assay demonstrates robustness against common contaminants, including proteins, free nucleotides, salts, solvents, and detergents |
