## 2.3 cDNA Cleanup - SPRIselect
- a. Vortex to resuspend the SPRIselect reagent. Add 60 μl SPRIselect reagent (0.6X) to each sample and pipette mix 15x (pipette set to 150 μl).
- b. Incubate 5 min at room temperature .
- c. Place on the magnet· High until the solution clears.
- d. Remove the supernatant.
- e. Add 200 μl 80% ethanol to the pellet. Wait 30 sec .
- f. Remove the ethanol.
- g. Repeat steps e and f for a total of 2 washes.
- h. Centrifuge briefly and place on the magnet· Low .
- i. Remove any remaining ethanol. Air dry for 2 min . DO NOT exceed 2 min as this will decrease elution efficiency.
- j. Remove from the magnet. Add 40.5 μl Buffer EB. Pipette mix 15x.
- k. Incubate 2 min at room temperature.
- l. Place the tube strip on the magnet· High until the solution clears.
- m. Transfer 40 μl sample to a new tube strip.
- n. Store at 4°C for up to 72 h or -20°C for ≤4 weeks , or proceed to the next step.

## 2.4 Post cDNA Amplification QC &amp; Quantification
- a. Run 1 μl (see dilutions below) product from step 2.3 on an Agilent Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity chip.
2. l Low RNA content cells (&lt;1 pg total RNA/cell) should be run undiluted
3. l High RNA content cells should be run at 1:5 or 1:10 dilution
- b. See example calculation in the following page.

## Alternate Quantification Methods
Agilent TapeStation
LabChip
See Appendix on page 72 for representative traces.
## Example Calculation
- i. Select Region: Under the 'Electropherogram' view, choose the 'Region Table.' Manually select the region of ~200 - ~9000 bp.
- ii. Note Concentration [pg/μl]

- iii. Calculate: Multiply the diluted sample concentration [pg/μl] reported via Agilent 2100 Expert Software by the dilution factor and divide by 1000 to obtain the total cDNA yield in ng/μl.
Carry forward ONLY 25% of total cDNA yield into Gene Expression Library Construction.
