Price range: $160.00 through $366.00

Product Description

igScript™ Glycerol-free Reverse Transcriptase is a recombinant Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (MMLV) reverse transcriptase with reduced RNase H activity. It is highly efficient at producing full-length cDNA from long RNA templates. igScript RT is an RNA-directed DNA polymerase which lacks 3´ → 5´ exonuclease activity and is capable of producing cDNA from as little as 50 pg of total RNA for real-time RT-PCR analysis and other applications.

Protein Purity:

The physical purity of this enzyme is ≥98% as assessed by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie® blue staining (see figure below).

Product Source

The gene encoding recombinant MMLV Reverse Transcriptase with mutated RNase H domain is expressed in E. coli.

Applications

  • First strand cDNA synthesis for PCR or RT-PCR
  • Gene expression data validation by using RT-PCR

Benefits

  • Recombinant MMLV reverse transcriptase with greatly reduced RNase H activity.
  • Active at temperatures up to 55°C.
  • Highly efficient at producing full-length cDNA from as little as 50 pg of total RNA.

First Strand cDNA Synthesis Protocol

  1. In a sterile micro-centrifuge tube, add the following components on ice: reverse-transcriptase-pic2.
  2. Heat the reaction for 5 minutes at 65 °C. Spin down briefly. Place the tube immediately on ice.
  3. Add the following components: reverse-transcriptase-pic3.
  4. If using random hexamers, incubate the reaction at 25 °C for 10 minutes, then proceed to step 5.
  5. Incubate the reaction at 42 °C for 30–60 minutes.
  6. Inactivate the enzyme by incubating at 65 °C for 20 minutes.
  7. Store products at -20 °C or proceed to the next step.
