Labeled ChromaTide Nucleotides

Incorporation of direct-labeled nucleotides using reverse transcriptase or RNA amplification is the traditional method for labeling microarray samples.

 

FEATURES and BENEFITS

  • Choose from labeled dUTP, UTP and OBEA-dCTPs

  • Fluorescent and nonfluorescent labels, including biotin, DNP, conventional dyes and Molecular Probes’ proprietary dyes (Table 1)

  • Built-in spacers for reduced interference of the dye in enzymatic uptake

  • Protocols optimized for reverse transcription

A microarray hybridized .

cDNA was labeled by reverse transcription from Vibrio cholerae total RNA using ChromaTide (C-11404). Labeled cDNA was then hybridized to a V. cholerae O1 El Tor microarray. The array was imaged with a ScanArray 5000XL scanner (Packard BioScience). Contributed by Kimberly Chong and Gary Schoolnik, Stanford University.
