Can degraded RNA be used with the QuantiTect Whole Transcriptome Kit?

The QuantiTect Whole Transcriptome Kit enables the preamplification and reverse transcription of limited amounts of RNA to high yields of cDNA for unlimited gene expression analysis using real-time PCR. An optimized protocol ensures a fast and easy procedure. The kit consists of a complete set of enzymes and buffers for whole transcriptome amplification (WTA). Innovative modification of Phi 29 polymerase technology allows yields of up to 40 μg cDNA from as little as 1 ng RNA. The uniquely high processivity of this polymerase guarantees the generation of cDNA containing uniformly amplified targets to ensure reliable gene expression analysis in real-time PCR.
