Thermo Fisher Scientific Random Hexamer Primer
Overview
Thermo Fisher Scientific Random Hexamer Primer is a mixture of oligonucleotides containing random six-base sequences designed for non-specific priming of RNA and DNA templates. The primer mixture is commonly used in reverse transcription workflows to generate complementary DNA (cDNA) from RNA templates with broad transcript coverage. This product is supplied in a purified format suitable for routine molecular biology applications and is provided as a 100 µg pack.
Highlights

Applications
Random hexamer primers are widely used in molecular biology laboratories for first-strand cDNA synthesis from total RNA or messenger RNA samples. They are suitable for gene expression analysis, reverse transcription PCR, transcript profiling and other workflows requiring non-specific initiation of complementary DNA synthesis. The randomised sequence composition supports representation of multiple transcript regions within complex RNA samples.
