qRT-PCR Kit [Probe] is a convenient and reliable one-step quantitative RT-PCR kit using dual-labeled fluorescence probe. The Enzyme Mix in this kit is an optimized blend of Thermo Reverse Transcriptase, a hot-start PCR enzyme (Hot-Taq polymerase), and an RNase inhibitor protein, which ensures reliable results regarding sensitivity, accuracy, and specificity. The 2x Buffer Mix contains optimized buffer components, Mg2+, dNTPs, and a stabilizing agent. The w/UDG version kit additionally includes a heat-labile UDG in the enzyme mix and dUTP in the 2x Buffer Mix. The applied UDG system prevents carryover contamination.
Application
- Probe-based real-time quantification of target RNA
- Gene expression analysis
- Viral RNA detection.
- Molecular diagnosis
Figure 1. Multiplex (four targets) qRT-PCR with qRT-PCR Kit [Probe] (= RealHelix™ qRT-PCR Kit [Probe]). Total RNAs from human whole blood were analyzed using four different sets of target-specific primers and probes. The probes were labeled with FAM, HEX, Texas Red, or Cy5. The multiplex reaction was done using the qRT-PCR Kit [Probe] on a real-time PCR instrument, Bio-Rad CFX96.
Figure 2. Comparison of qRT-PCR Kit [Probe] (= RealHelix™ qRT-PCR Kit [Probe]) and qRT-PCR Kit [Probe type] (the previous version). 10-fold serial dilutions (10, 1, 0.1 and 0.01 ng) of the human total RNA from whole blood were analyzed using human Globin gene specific primer set. qRT-PCR Kit [Probe] shows earlier Ct and more reliable amplifications than the previous version. Reactions were run on a real-time PCR instrument, CFX-96 (Bio-Rad, USA).
