Thermo Scientific™ Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for RT-qPCR, with dsDNase, 50

Thermo Scientific Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for RT-qPCR with dsDNase is a convenient system optimized for cDNA synthesis in 2-step quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) applications. It provides a dramatically simplified workflow that combines genomic DNA elimination and cDNA synthesis into one-tube procedure. The kit contains a novel double-strand specific DNase (dsDNase) engineered to remove contaminating genomic DNA from RNA preps in 2 minutes without damage to quality or quantity of RNA. Highly specific activity towards double-stranded DNA ensures that single-stranded DNA (such as cDNA and primers) is not cleaved and dsDNase treated RNA can be directly added to reverse transcription. For the first strand cDNA synthesis the kit uses Maxima Reverse Transcriptase (RT), an advanced enzyme derived by in vitro evolution of M-MuLV RT. The enzyme features high thermostability, robustness and increased cDNA synthesis rate compared to wild type M-MuLV RT. The Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for RT-qPCR is capable of reproducible cDNA synthesis from a wide range of total RNA amounts (1 pg to 5 µg) at elevated temperatures (42 to 65°C). The synthesis reaction can be completed in 15 to 30 minutes. Components of the Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for RT-qPCR are pre-mixed to save time and to reduce the possibility of pipetting errors.
