  • Patent number: 9611506
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for synthesis of a cDNA in a sample, in an enzymatic reaction, whereby the process comprises the steps: simultaneous preparation of a first enzyme with polyadenylation activity, a second enzyme with reverse transcriptase activity, a buffer, at least one ribonucleotide, at least one deoxyribonucleotide, an anchor oligonucleotide; addition of a sample that comprises a ribonucleic acid; and incubation of the agents of the previous steps in one or more temperature steps, which are selected such that the first enzyme and the second enzyme show activity. The invention further relates to a reaction mixture that comprises a first enzyme with polyadenylation activity, a second enzyme with reverse transcriptase activity, optionally a buffer, optionally at least one ribonucleotide, optionally at least one deoxyribonucleotide, and optionally an anchor oligonucleotide. Moreover, the invention relates to a kit that comprises a corresponding reaction mixture.

  • Publication number: 20110124050
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing a cDNA in a sample in an enzymatic reaction, characterized in that the method comprises the steps: simultaneously providing of a first enzyme with polyadenylation activity, a second enzyme with reverse transcriptase activity, a buffer, at least one ribonucleotide, at least one deoxyribonucleotide, an anchor oligonucleotide, adding of a sample comprising a ribonucleic acid and incubating the agents from the preceding steps in one or more temperature steps, which are selected so that the first enzyme and the second enzyme display activity, characterized in that additionally an amplification takes place in the same reaction mixture.

  • Publication number: 20110108027
    Abstract: A filtering device comprises a filtering means (8); a first plate-like element (4) disposed on the filtering means (8) and having at least one bore (4a); a second plate-like element (5) disposed below the filtering means (8) and having at least one bore (5a); and a plate-like adapter element (1, 2) disposed on the first plate-like element (4) and having at least one bore (1a, 2a). At least one adapter means (1b, 2b, 3) is disposed on the plate-like adapter element (1, 2) on a side opposite to the first plate-like element (4) and is open to the bore (1a, 2a) of the plate-like adapter element (1, 2). The at least one adapter means (1b, 2b, 3) is adapted for connection with a container containing a fluid to be filtered.
