2. Preform primary
amplification in a
thermocycler using the
steps listed below.
A. RT enzyme activation:
25°C for 2 minutes
Reverse transcription: 50°C for 20 minutes
RT inactivation/Initial denaturation: 95°C for 2 minutes
Denaturation: 95°C for 15 seconds
Annealing: 55°C for 30 seconds
Extension: 72°C for 1 minute
Repeat steps D – F for 25 cycles
Hold at 4°C
