Product Description

The UniCycle™ RT-PCR kit is optimized and formulated for a single-step PCR reaction from an RNA template, enabling amplification without any additional steps. The kit is designed to merge the reverse transcription and PCR steps into a single process to generate exceedingly precise amplified DNA outputs saving your precious time.

The kit features a distinctive fusion of the revolutionary UniCycle™ reverse transcriptase, FusionTaq™ DNA Polymerase, UniCycle™ RT buffer and AVBlend™ allowing you to amplify low concentration and tricky GC-rich transcripts with zero to minimal optimization ensuring high yields.

The UniCycle™ enzyme mix features cutting-edge GenoScript™ RT enzyme and the FusionTaq™ DNA polymerase allowing a wide array of annealing temperatures, high affinity to RNA templates and a starting template concentration of as low as 1 picogram. The AVBlend™ is crafted to alter the melting patterns of nucleic acids thereby reducing the chances of secondary structure formation and RNase inhibition. The FusionTaq™ is designed to show zero activity at low and ambient temperatures and only activates after a hot start step during the thermocycling process which also inactivates RT enzymes.

The kit saves multiple setup, optimization and pipetting steps associated with PCR reactions and making a one-stop application for all molecular biology needs.

Product FAQs
What reaction volume is suited for this kit?

Typically a 50 µL reaction volume is recommended.

Is the initial hotstart phase for the polymerase mandatory?

Yes, the unique characteristics of FusionTaq™ are activated when the PCR mix is hot-started at 95°C for 15 minutes.

How is primer annealing efficiency ensured?

The PrimeFactor™ additive present in the AVBlend™ increases the local concentration of primers around the template and also aids in stabilization of the primers post-annealing, therefore permitting FusionTaq™ to extend effectively compared to other Taq Polymerases on the market.

Does the kit feature a MasterMix?

No, this kit does not feature a MasterMix but a one-shot MasterMix can be prepared by adding kit components and distributing them into different templates for highly reproducible results.
