Quantitative RT-PCR

Sigma's QRT-PCR ReadyMix™ combines the advantages of Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase (M-MLV RT) and JumpStart™ Taq in a convenient ReadyMix designed for either probe based or SYBR based QRT–PCR. Regardless of difficult secondary structures or detection chemistry, Sigma's QRT–PCR ReadyMixes are specially formulated to help you achieve superior results.

• Increased Thermostability and Processivity
  Robust M-MLV RT reverse transcriptase with the ability to transcribe through difficult secondary structures at elevated temperature (up to 65 °C).
• Greater Specificity & Sensitivity
  Inactivated by a taq–directed antibody, Sigma's JumpStart Taq enzyme decreases non–specific amplification while enhancing target yield.
• Maximum Versatility
  Probe based or SYBR based detection, our RT kits are optimized to help you achieve superior results and compatible with both tube/plate based instruments and capillary based instruments.
