Description

One Step PrimeScript™ RT-PCR Kit (Perfect Real Time) is designed for real time one-step RT-PCR using TaqMan^® probe^*1,*2 for detection. In this kit, RT-PCR can be performed all in a single tube subsequently, therefore the operation is simple, and it minimizes the risk of contamination. Also, amplified products are monitored in real time, so there is no need to verify them through electrophoresis after PCR. This kit is suitable for detection of tiny amount of RNA like RNA virus.
This kit uses PrimeScript™ RTase, which has excellent extendibility and can efficiently synthesize cDNA in short time period, and TaKaRa Ex Taq™ HS, high efficiency hot start PCR enzyme, and they are optimized for one step RT-PCR.

Applicable real time PCR instruments

ROX™ Reference Dye/Dye II is used for normalization of intensity by background subtraction. For ABI PRISM® 7000/7700/7900HT and Applied Biosystems 7300 Real-Time PCR System, the use of ROX™ Reference Dye (50×) is recommended. For Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time PCR System, the use of ROX™ Reference Dye II is recommended. The use of ROX™ Reference Dye or Dye II is optional. It is not required for use with Thermal Cycler Dice® Real Time System, Smart Cycler® or LightCycler® real time instruments.
