| 14.6 uL | 11.6 uL aliquots |
| 3. | Add 3.0 uL Cy3 or Cy5 to respective primer-annealed RNAs. |
| Aliquot 11.6 uL of RT cocktail to each rxn for total volume of 30 uL. | |
| Incubate 2 hr @ 42C. Place on ice. | |
| 4. | Place 500 uL TE (pH 7.4) each in two microcon-30 filters. |
| Add RT rxns to each microcon filter. Centrifuge 7 min. at top speed. | |
| Optional: Repeat TE washes 1-2 times, or until all unincorporated dye is removed. | |
| 5. | Inspect filters. Centrifuge in 30 sec. intervals until volume is 10-20 uL. |
| 6. | Invert filters into fresh tubes. Centrifuge 1 min. to harvest labeled cDNA. |
| Optional: For next day hybridization, store cDNA @ 4C. | |
| 7. | Mix together Cy3- and Cy5-labeled cDNAs. |
| Concentrate sample to ~10-12 uL using microcon filter or vacuum pump. | |
| 8. | Add 1 uL polyA DNA or RNA for non-specific hybridization. |
| Add 3 uL 20X SSC for total volume of 12-15 uL. | |
| 9. | Pre-wet millipore filter by adding 5 uL ddH2O. Centrifuge 1 min. at top speed. |
| Remove eluted water with pipet tip. | |
| 10. | Add probe to filter. (Pipet probe onto filter wall, not directly onto membrane.) |
| Centrifuge 1 min. at top speed. | |
| => | PROBE IS NOW READY FOR HYBRIDIZATION. |
| REMEMBER TO ADD 0.3 uL SDS (10%) TO PROBE as stated in hybridization protocol. |
