Application

SYBR^® Green Quantitative RT-qPCR Kit has been used in a 1-step reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay:to detect specific genetic clusters of genogroup I and II norovirusesfor chikungunya viral (CHIKV) RNA quantificationto detect mRNA expression levelsfor amplification of total RNA extracted from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and prostate cancer cells

Features and Benefits

The master mix allows consistency and reproducibility from one reaction to the next Reduced preparation time and the risk of contamination from multiple pipetting steps Reduced set-up time as compared to manual or wax Hot Start methods JumpStart^™Taq Polymerase reduces primer-dimer and non-specific product formation SYBR^® Green I dye is inexpensive, easy to use, and highly sensitive Broad instrument compatibility Includes a separate ROX reference dye vial for reaction normalization

General description

The SYBR^® Green Quantitative RT-PCR Kit combines Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase (M-MLV RT), JumpStart^™ Taq DNA polymerase, and SYBR Green I fluorescent dye in a one-step RT-PCR kit designed for measurement of gene expression. This convenient 2X ready mix includes M-MLV RT, SYBR Green I dye, JumpStart^™ Taq DNA polymerase, 99% pure deoxynucleotides, buffer, glass passivator, and stabilizers. The JumpStart^™ Taq DNA polymerase is an antibody-inactivated hot-start enzyme. Once the reaction temperature reaches 70°C, the DNA polymerase-antibody complex dissociates and Taq DNA polymerase activity is restored. This antibody-enzyme complex allows for easy and convenient set-up with less contamination risk than manual hot-start techniques.
