SCRIPT RT-qPCR ProbesMaster Lyophilisate

SCRIPT RT-qPCR ProbesMaster Lyophilisate is designed for performing maximum sensitive and specific RT-qPCRs convenient in single tubes. The enzyme mix is based on a genetically engineered reverse transcriptase with enhanced thermal stability resulting in an increased specificity, higher cDNA yield and an improved efficiency for highly structured and long cDNA fragments. The lyophilisate contains all reagents required for RT-qPCR (except template and primer) in one tube to ensure fast and easy preparation with a minimum of pipetting steps. The premium quality enzyme mix, ultrapure dNTPs and the optimized complete reaction buffer ensure superior amplification results. SCRIPT RT-qPCR ProbesMaster is used to amplify double-stranded DNA from single-stranded RNA templates. In the RT step the reverse transcriptase synthesizes single-stranded DNA molecules (cDNA) complementary to the RNA template. In the first cycle of the PCR, the Hot Start Taq polymerase synthesizes DNA molecules that are complementary to the cDNA, thus generating a double-stranded DNA template. In the following cycle rounds, the DNA polymerase amplifies this double-stranded DNA template exponentially. In one-step RT-qPCR, all components for reverse transcription and PCR are combined in one tube so that both reactions take place one after the other without opening the tube. This offers enormous convenience when analyzing targets from multiple RNA samples and minimizes the risk of contamination. The master mix already contains an optimized amount of RNase inhibitor to prevent a decrease in sensitivity due to the degradation of RNA by RNase contamination when using small amounts of templete material.
