Description
- The 1-Step 2X Multiplex RT-PCR Master Mix is used for real-time qualitative and quantitative multiplex RT-PCR amplifications with TaqMan probes for up to four templates.
- The master mix is a premixed, 2X concentrated solution that has all the components except for gene-specific primers, probes and RNA templates.
Kit Characteristics
-
Direct-from-sample: enables expression analysis directly from cultured cells without RNA purification.
-
Fast preparation: 5-minute lysis including DNase treatment, versus 30–60 minutes for traditional RNA purification.
- The kit is designed for multiplex RT-PCR with TaqMan probes.
- For the reverse transcription step, this kit uses a highly efficient Thermophilic Reverse Transcriptase (US patent pending), which is a thermophilic type A polymerase, with optimal temperatures of 60-62°C.
- The RTase is easily heat-inactivated at ≥90°C for 1min.
- The RTase efficiently synthesizes complementary DNA strands on RNA templates from gene-specific primers, ≥1 unit per 20μL of reaction.
- The RTase reversely-transcribes single digit copies of target RNA molecules consistently.
- The kit also contains Taq-Probe DNA polymerase, specially engineered for TaqMan probes and generating S-shaped curves.
- Up to four pairs of gene-specific primers can be applied in one reaction.
- The concentrations of the primers and probes are variable depending on assay designs and thermocycling protocols (User Manual Table 1).
- The preferable PCR product size is ≤150bp.
- The kit has three formulations of ROX, Low ROX or High ROX concentration for your choice.
