The present invention provides, among other things, methods of quantitating mRNA capping efficiency, particularly mRNA synthesized in vitro. In some embodiments, methods according to the present invention comprise providing an mRNA sample containing capped and uncapped mRNA, providing a cap specific binding substance under conditions that permit the formation of a complex between the cap specific binding substance and the capped mRNA, and quantitatively determining the amount of the complex as compared to a control, thereby quantifying mRNA capping efficiency.

Compositions, reaction mixtures, and methods for performing an amplification reaction, including multiplex amplification reaction, wherein the method comprises using one or more amplification oligomer complexes comprising linked first and second amplification oligomer members. In one aspect, the amplification oligomer complex is hybridized to a target nucleic acid, the target nucleic acid with hybridized amplification oligomer complex is then captured, and other components are washed away. Target sequences of the target nucleic acids are pre-amplified to generate a first amplification product. The first amplification product is amplified in one or more secondary amplification reactions to generate second amplification products.
