Will the Cells-to-CT system work with my special cell line?
There is no reason why the Cells-to-CT system shouldn’t work with any cell line. However, due to differences in cell size and composition, the maximum number of cells per lysis reaction may be slightly different for different cell lines. We recommend testing for inhibition and optimal cell input by using the TaqMan Cells-to-CT and SYBR Green Cells-to-CT Control kits.
Do the 2-step Cells-to-CT kits contain RNase inhibitor?
Yes, the Stop Solution provided in the 2-step Cells-to-CT kits contains RNase inhibitor.
Can I use the TaqMan Gene Expression Cells-to-CT kit for multiplexing?
The TaqMan Gene Expression Cells-to-CT kit has been validated for duplexing. If you want to set up a multiplex real-time PCR reaction with 3 assays, we recommend using the TaqMan Fast Advanced Cells-to-CT kit (https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/A35374).
