Descrição:
SCRIPT High Fidelity RT-PCR Kit is the ideal choice for applications where highly sensitive reverse transcription and high fidelity PCR at high amplification speed in single tubes are required. The enzyme mix is based on a genetically engineered reverse transcriptase with enhanced thermal stability providing increased specificity, high cDNA yield and improved efficiency for highly structured and long cDNA fragments. Additionally, a genetically engineered proof-reading enzyme is implemented as polymerase. It provides a 50-fold higher accuracy and an increased processivity compared to Taq, resulting in 2-fold shorter elongation times.
The kit contains all reagents required for RT-PCR (except template and primer) in one box to ensure fast and easy preparation with a minimum of pipetting steps. The premium quality enzyme mix and the optimized complete reaction buffer containing ultrapure dNTPs ensure superior amplification results.
RT-PCR is used to amplify double-stranded DNA from single-stranded RNA templates. In the RT step the reverse transcriptase synthesizes single-stranded DNA molecules (cDNA) complementary to the RNA template. In the first cycle of the PCR step Taq DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA molecules complementary to the cDNA, thus generating a double-stranded DNA template. During subsequent rounds of cycling the DNA polymerase exponentially amplifies this double-stranded DNA template.
In one-step RT-PCR all components of RT and PCR are mixed in one tube prior to starting the reaction and thus carried out sequentially without opening the tube. This offers tremendous convenience when applied to analysis of single targets from multiple samples of RNA and minimizes the risk of contaminations.

Sensitivity:
Targets can generally be detected from 1 pg to 20 ng poly(A) RNA (mRNA) or 10 pg to 1 μg total RNA. Even lower amounts of RNA may be successfully amplified by using highly expressed transcripts.

RT-PCR assay without sample denaturation:
(standard RNA/primer combinations)
Preparation of the RT-PCR Assay
[Please note: Sample denaturation is particularly recommended for RNA targets that exhibit a high degree of secondary structure, for self- or cross-complementary primers and for initial experiments with new targets. For many standard combinations of RNA and primers heat treatment may be omitted with no negative effect on results.]
Add the following components to a nuclease-free microtube. Pipett on ice and mix the components by pipetting gently up and down. In general, water, RNA and primers should be mixed together before the remaining components are added.component||stock conc.||final conc.||1 assay

The optimal temperature depends on the structural features of the RNA. Increase the temperature to 55 °C for difficult templates with high secondary structure. Note that optimal reaction time and temperature should be adjusted for each particular RNA.
4)A prolonged initial denaturation time of up to 5 min is recommended to inactivate the reverse transcriptase
5)The annealing temperature depends on the melting temperature of the primers.
6)The elongation time depends on the length of the amplicon. A time of 1 min for a fragment of 1,000 bp is recommended.

For optimal specificity and amplification an individual optimization of the recommended parameters may be necessary. Note that optimal reaction times and temperatures should be adjusted for each particular RNA / primer pair.
