-
RNase
contamination: Use RNase-free consumables throughout the
workflow and perform all the operations in RNase-free conditions. RNase contamination will reduce reverse
transcription efficiency and low library yield.
-
Low
sample purity: Residual contaminants in RNA (e.g. chelators,
guanidine salts, phenol, ethanol) may inhibit the activity of reverse
transcriptase. It is recommended to purify RNA according to Step 7: Post-amplification Cleanup in
the use manual using 2X NadPrep SP Beads and elute in Nuclease Free
Water.
-
Poor
sample quality: For low-quality RNA samples, follow the user manual’s
recommendations to increase the no. of PCR cycles appropriately.
