What components does the GeneChip® Two-Cycle cDNA Synthesis Kit contain?

The Two-Cycle cDNA Synthesis Kit contains all necessary reagents (see the following table) to carry out the two cycles of cDNA synthesis for thirty samples. Note that the reagents for the intermediary in vitro transcription (IVT) amplification using un-labeled ribonucleotides, between the two cDNA synthesis reactions, is not included in the kit. The Ambion MEGAscript T7 Kit is recommended.
