Component Amount per reaction Final
Template DNA (linearized plasmid) Variable 25 μg
10× Transcription buffer 100 μl
100 mM NTP (each)* 10 μl 1 mM
10× Nucleotide analog mix 100 μl
1 M DTT 10 μl 10 mM
RNase inhibitor (40 U μl−1) 10 μl 400 U

For some analogs, the final concentration of the parent NTP should be 0.5 mM (instead of 1 mM; see Table 1).
