RNA-Based RT-qPCR

KiCqStart^® – Instrument Optimized

Our KiCqStart^® ReadyMixes feature a stringent hot-start mechanism for greater specificity . These products are formulated to be highly tolerant of PCR inhibitors in samples. The ReadyMixes are designed for convenience; all required basic components for RT-qPCR are included, simply add primers, probe, and water to complete the assay cocktail. This product is ideal for fast or conventional qPCR.

JumpStart™ – Highly Optimized

Our JumpStart™ RT-qPCR Readymix™ combines the advantages of Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase (M-MLV RT) and our JumpStart™ antibody-inactivated Taq polymerase. Robust M-MLV RT has the ability to transcribe through difficult secondary structures, even at elevated temperatures and our JumpStart™ taq provides greater specificity and sensitivity than standard Taq.

Our products are compatible with both tube/plate based instruments and capillary based instruments.

MicroRNA-Based RT-qPCR

MystiCq^®

MystiCq^® microRNA reagents provide a complete SYBR^® Green RT-qPCR workflow for quantifying expression in three steps:

1. Isolation
2. cDNA Synthesis
3. Quantitation by amplification.

• Over 1400 pre-designed and wet lab tested primer pairs designed to target only mature microRNAs
• Conversion of all microRNAs, allowing nearly unlimited readouts from a single sample
• Selection of three different products for isolation of microRNAs
