The PR2110-S is the trial / sample-size SKU of the Accuris qMAX First Strand cDNA Synthesis Flex Kit family, 5-reaction pack for first-use evaluation of the 4-tube Flex Kit format before committing to the production-scale packs (PR2110-50 at $113 / PR2110-200 at $455). At $13 list price ($2.54 per reaction), the sample SKU enables labs to validate the high-concentration RTase + low-input RNA workflow on their specific RNA template.
For complete chemistry rationale (4-tube format, 200 U/µL RTase, 10 pg – 2.0 µg RNA input range), see the PR2110-50 parent page.
Key Specifications
| SKU | PR2110-S |
| Type | Sample / trial pack (qMAX First Strand cDNA Synthesis Flex Kit) |
| Pack quantity | 5 reactions |
| RTase concentration | 200 U/µL (high) |
| RNA input range | 10 pg – 2.0 µg |
| Per-reaction cost (sample) | $2.54 |
| Sister sample SKU | PR2100-C-S (qMAX cDNA Synthesis Kit sample, 5 rxn, $20) |
| Production-scale follow-on | PR2110-50 ($113), PR2110-200 ($455) |
| List price | $13 |
Sample-vs-Sample Pricing: Flex Kit Cheaper
The two cDNA synthesis sample SKUs are price-differentiated to reflect the per-reaction cost differential between the kit families:
| Sample SKU | Kit format | Per-reaction (sample) | Production-scale per-reaction |
| PR2110-S (this product) | Flex Kit (4-tube) | $2.54 | $2.26–$2.27 |
| PR2100-C-S | cDNA Synthesis Kit (2-tube) | $4.05 | $4.40–$5.27 |
The Flex Kit is roughly 50 % cheaper per reaction across the family: likely reflecting the operator-supplied primer-chemistry decision in the Flex Kit (vs Accuris pre-mixing both primers in the Synthesis Kit's buffer).
Procurement Strategy: Both Samples for Direct Comparison
Order both PR2100-C-S and PR2110-S samples ($33 total) for a direct kit-format comparison on the lab's specific RNA template. The decision depends on:
| If the workflow is... | Pick the kit |
| Routine bulk-tissue mRNA cDNA synthesis with pre-mixed primer convenience | PR2100-C qMAX cDNA Synthesis Kit |
| Low-input RNA, primer-chemistry-flexible, method-development | PR2110 qMAX First Strand cDNA Flex Kit |
What 5 Reactions Supports
A typical 5-reaction validation plan:
| Validation step | Reactions used |
| No-template control | 1 |
| Positive control (known RNA template) | 1 |
| Sample RNA cDNA synthesis (oligo dT primer) | 1 |
| Sample RNA cDNA synthesis (random hexamer primer) | 1 |
| Reserve for re-test | 1 |
| Total | 5 |
This supports a Flex Kit-specific validation: confirm both primer chemistries work on the lab's RNA template, validate the high-RTase-concentration low-input workflow if applicable, and confirm downstream PCR / qPCR amplification.
Per Brochure Applications
Per Accuris Life Science Reagents Catalog, applications include cDNA Library Generation, Microarrays, Gene Expression Analysis, 2-Step RT-PCR/RT-qPCR.
Application Profile
Flex Kit first-time evaluation. Labs evaluating the Accuris Flex Kit format for the first time use the sample to validate fit before bulk procurement.
cDNA Synthesis Kit vs Flex Kit comparison. Labs deciding between PR2100-C and PR2110 formats run both samples for direct comparison.
Low-input RNA workflow validation. Labs validating that the high-RTase-concentration Flex Kit handles their specific low-input RNA samples.
Sales / training samples. Sales reps and training programs use the sample for hands-on customer demonstrations.
Educational laboratory cDNA exercises. Molecular-biology coursework demonstrating primer-chemistry selection concepts.
Ordering & Configuration
Single-use sample SKU. The 5-reaction pack supports a small validation run.
Pair with RNA template + downstream PCR / qPCR reagents. The kit produces cDNA; operator supplies RNA template, primer chemistry selection, and downstream master mix.
Storage. -20 °C, RNase-free handling required.
Confirm at quote: Flex Kit evaluation intent (vs PR2110-50 / -200 production-pack ordering), comparison to PR2100-C kit format, RNA input range needs, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard reagent terms. Confirm at quote.
