Descprition

This product uses a unique lysis buffer system to rapidly release RNA from cultured cell samples for RT-qPCR reactions, eliminating the time-consuming and laborious RNA purification, and only takes 7 minutes to obtain the required RNA template. Used with the 5× Direct RT Mix and 2× Direct qPCR Mix-TaqMan provided in the kit, effective real-time quantitative PCR results can be quickly obtained.

5× Direct RT Mix and 2× Direct qPCR Mix-TaqMan have strong inhibitor tolerance, enabling efficient reverse transcription and specific amplification using the sample lysate as template. The kit contains high-RNA-affinity Foregene Reverse Transcriptase, as well as Hot-Start D-Taq DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl₂, reaction buffer, PCR optimizer and stabilizer. When used with the lysis buffer, they enable rapid and simple sample detection with high sensitivity, strong specificity, and excellent stability.

The kit is designed for micro-scale lysis of cells cultured in 96-well plates, offering excellent uniformity and consistency. The kit components provide 96 lysis reactions, 96 reverse transcription reactions, and 96×2 qPCR reactions, supporting one-batch processing of an entire 96-well cell plate. Avoid contamination and performance degradation of reagents caused by repeated opening, freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Upgrade Notice: Previous catalog numbers DRT-01021 and DRT-01022 have been consolidated and upgraded to the new catalog number DRT-02021. The updated version provides improved formulation stability and optimized direct RT-qPCR performance while maintaining workflow compatibility.

Note: The DNA Eraser for lysis is packed in Part II; Cell Lysis, RT and qPCR components can be purchased separately.

Buffer CL: Provides optimal conditions for cell lysis reactions.
Foregene Protease Plus II: Lyses cells and releases nucleic acids in the lysis buffer.
DNA Eraser: DNA remover, to eliminate the impact of genomic DNA on subsequent experiments.
Buffer ST: Terminates the active substance in lysate to avoid effects on subsequent RT.
5× Direct RT Mix: Contains high-RNA-affinity Foregene Reverse Transcriptase, RNase Inhibitor, dNTPs, stabilizers, enhancers, optimizers, and optimized reverse transcription primers (Random Primer, Oligo(dT) 18 Primer).
2× Direct qPCR Mix-TaqMan: This reagent contains Foreasy HS Taq DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl₂, reaction buffer, PCR optimizer and stabilizer.
20× ROX Reference Dye: Generally used on real-time quantitative PCR instruments of ABI, Stratagene and other companies, it is used to adjust the difference between PCR tubes caused by PCR pipetting errors. The 20× ROX Reference Dye concentration required for different instruments is different, and the user can add it according to the recommended concentration of the instrument.
RNase-Free ddH₂O: RNase-Free sterilized ultrapure water for two-step RT-qPCR reactions.

Precautions: (Be sure to read the precautions carefully before using the kit)

Pay attention to the operation of the experiment to avoid cross-contamination between samples.
Keep the environment and utensils clean to avoid RNase contamination and RNA degradation.
Please prepare the cell lysis system fresh and use it immediately.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles for 2× Direct qPCR Mix-TaqMan, as this may reduce PCR efficiency.
For research use only.

Storage Condition

Transport conditions: Transport on ice packs at <4°C.
