Description

Ribonucleic Acid From Phage Ms2, Package With 0.5 Ml* is a highly purified, single-stranded RNA derived from the bacteriophage MS2. This product is essential as a well-defined molecular standard and control material for nucleic acid research and diagnostic applications. It is critically needed by biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and molecular diagnostics companies for applications such as RNA quantification, assay development, and quality control in next-generation sequencing workflows.

Application

• Molecular Standard for Quantification: Used as a precise calibrant in qRT-PCR and digital PCR for absolute quantification of RNA targets.
• Viral RNA Research: Serves as a non-infectious model system for studying viral RNA structure, replication, and packaging mechanisms.
• Diagnostic Assay Development: Acts as a critical positive control and sensitivity standard in the development and validation of diagnostic kits for RNA viruses.
• Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Controls: Employed as a spike-in control to monitor library preparation efficiency, sequencing performance, and data normalization.
• RNA Stability and Storage Studies: Used as a reference material to evaluate the efficacy of RNA stabilization reagents and storage conditions.
• Enzyme Activity Assays: Functions as a substrate for testing the activity and specificity of reverse transcriptases, RNA polymerases, and nucleases.
