qPCR Probe Kits: GoTaq® Probe qPCR and RT-qPCR Systems

Reverse Transcription and qPCR in One Reaction

The GoTaq® Probe 1-Step RT-qPCR System enables detection and relative quantification of RNA expression levels using a one-step RT-qPCR method, combining GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase and GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix in a single-step real-time amplification reaction.

The GoScript™ RT Mix for 1-Step RT-qPCR (50X) combines optimized quantities of GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase, RNasin® Plus RNase Inhibitor and additives to enhance single-step reactions. The GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix includes dUTP. When dUTP is incorporated into the amplification products, the amplicons are susceptible to degradation by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG); allowing users to incorporate UNG into subsequent reactions for control of possible carryover contamination.

Two-Step Reverse Transcription and qPCR

The GoTaq® Probe 2-Step RT-qPCR System facilitates detection and relative quantification of RNA expression levels via a two-step RT-qPCR method using integrated components: GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System and GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix.

The GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix contains GoTaq® Hot Start Polymerase, MgCl₂, dNTPs and a proprietary reaction buffer. The master mix does not contain a reference dye; a separate tube of CXR reference dye is included.

The GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System includes an optimized reaction buffer and M-MLV reverse transcriptase designed to enable efficient synthesis of first-strand cDNA in preparation for PCR amplification. The cDNA product can be added directly to downstream qPCR amplification reactions.
