When I try to run RediPlate 96 RiboGreen RNA Kit (Cat. No. R32700) on my Varioskan LUX instrument, it says there is no plate. What should I do?

When using a strip plate with the Varioskan LUX plate reader, ensure that there is a strip covering the D6 well, as this is where the instrument checks for the presence of a plate. The strip does not need to be active; it just needs to be in place for the instrument to verify the plate's presence. Alternatively, you can resolve this issue by adjusting the software settings. Go to the general settings and uncheck the box labeled "Check plate and tip prime vessel before session execution." This will immediately solve the problem.

Does the Quant-it RiboGreen RNA Assay Kit and RiboGreen RNA Reagent (Cat. No. R32700) work with double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)?

We have not validated measurement of dsRNA with the Quant-it RiboGreen RNA Assay Kit and RiboGreen RNA Reagent (Cat. No. R32700). If you are using RiboGreen dye to measure dsRNA, then you should use your own dsRNA standards, rather than the standards provided with the kit, to get an accurate measurement.
