General description

ReadyScript® cDNA Synthesis Mix is a sensitive and easy-to-use solution for two-step RT-PCR. This 5X concentrated mix provides all necessary components (except RNA template) for first-strand synthesis including: buffer, dNTPs, MgCl2, primers, RNase inhibitor protein, ReadyScript reverse transcriptase and stabilizers. ReadyScript is a RNase H(+) derivative of MMLV reverse transcriptase, optimized for reliable cDNA synthesis over a wide dynamic range of input RNA. The unique blend of oligo (dT) and random primers in the ReadyScript cDNA Synthesis Mix works exceptionally well with a wide variety of targets. It is optimized for the production of targets < 1kb in length. ReadyScript cDNA Synthesis Mix produces excellent results in both real-time and conventional RT-PCR.

Application

ReadyScript® cDNA Synthesis Mix has been used for complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis from total/mRNA[1][2] in 2-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)[3][4] assays for gene expression studies.[5][6]

Features and Benefits

  • Convenient 5X master mix formula provides for quick and easy reaction set up; just add RNA template
  • Includes proprietary blend of randomers and oligodT primers and an RNAse H+ derivative of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) reverse transcriptase
  • Allows for unbiased, accurate conversion of RNA to cDNA in just 40 minutes
  • Can use up to 1 μg of RNA in a single 20 μL reaction; reactions can also be scaled up
  • Highly stable; can be stored at -20°C for up to 1 year; 4°C for up to one month
  • Specific ratio of randomers and oligo (dT) primers in the mastermix ensures optimal representation of all transcript sequences in the cDNA product
  • High reproducibility: Premixed master mix eliminates variability inherent in other kits requiring mixing of components
  • RNase H(+) Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) reverse transcriptase ensures residual RNA does not interfere with PCR amplification
  • Reverse transcribes both rare and abundant genes with a wide input range of template
  • Convenient 5X master mix formula provides for quick and easy reaction set up; just add RNA template

Other Notes

Stable for 1 year when stored in a constant temperature freezer at -20 °C. To extend product′s shelf-life, store the kit at -70 °C. Readyscript cDNA Synthesis Mix showed no loss in functional performance after 20 cycles of freezing on dry ice and thawing on ice. However, we recommend keeping the freeze-thaw cycles to a minimum.
Supplied as a 5X reaction buffer containing optimized concentrations of MgCl2, dNTPs (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP), recombinant RNase inhibitor protein, ReadyScript reverse transcriptase, random primers, oligo(dT) primer and stabilizers.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique for amplifying nucleic acid molecules and is commonly used in many applications, including RT-PCR, hot start PCR, end point PCR and more.

La réaction en chaîne par polymérase (PCR pour "Polymerase Chain Reaction") est une technique d'amplification des molécules d'acide nucléique qui est couramment employée dans de nombreuses applications, incluant la RT-PCR, la PCR à démarrage à chaud, la PCR en point final, et bien d'autres.

La RT-qPCR, ou PCR quantitative après transcription inverse, combine les effets de la transcription inverse et de la PCR quantitative, ou PCR en temps réel, pour amplifier et détecter des cibles spécifiques. La RT-qPCR trouve de multiples applications, notamment dans la quantification du niveau d'expression génique, la validation de l'interférence par ARN ou la détection d'agents pathogènes comme les virus.
