What is the difference between the SenseAMP and SenseAMP Plus kits?
Both kits provide materials needed to amplify any RNA sample. SenseAMP Plus contains four additional reagents (vials) for an additional enzymatic reaction that ensures the addition of poly(A) tails to the 3′ ends of all amplified products. Both kits produce sense-strand amplified RNA (senseRNA) that is much more representative of the original unamplified sample than is conventional antisense RNA. Both kits successfully amplify degraded and prokaryotic RNA, including RNA extracted from paraffin-embedded samples. The choice of kit would be determined by what you want to do with the senseRNA. If you would like to use the senseRNA in a reaction that uses random primers, the SenseAMP product is needed. If you would like to use the senseRNA in a reaction that uses dT primers, the SenseAMP Plus product is needed.
