There are two steps for the purification of the dsRNA: the digestion of the DNA template and the clean-up of the sample with the '''RNeasy kit (QIAGEN)'''.<BR>

(β-Mercaptoethanol (β-ME) must be added freshly to the Buffer RLT before use (under hood!). Add 10 μl β-ME per 1 ml Buffer RLT – you only need 350 μl Buffer RLT per reaction. Also make sure that 4 volumes of ethanol have been added to 1 volume of Buffer RPE.)<BR>
