TITAN ONE TUBE RT-PCR SYSTEM(100 REACT.)

General description

The Titan^™ One Tube RT-PCR System uses Reverse Transcriptase (RT) Avian Myeloblastosis Virus (AMV) for first strand cDNA synthesis and the Expand^™ High Fidelity enzyme blend consisting of Taq DNA Polymerase and a polymerase with a proofreading activity for amplification of cDNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The proofreading activity, leads to an increased PCR fidelity. The Titan One Tube RT-PCR System:

• Reduces the error rate in PCR due to the proofreading capability. A threefold higher fidelity is obtained in comparision to Taq DNA polymerase.
• Delivers increased sensitivity due to the high efficiency of all three enzymes.
• Is faster than conventional two-step RT-PCR.

Specificity

Specificity of the reaction strongly depends on primer design and DNA contamination.
To exclude artefacts from DNA targets appropriate positive and negative control reaction should be included.
Heat inactivation: 2 min at 94 °C
Reverse Transcriptase AMV

Application

Titan^™ One Tube RT-PCR System has been used:

• to amplify the regions containing the miRNA target (miRT) inserts/response elements in viral RNA
• for determining the presence or absence of RNA templates
• in cloning of rare messages without the need to construct cDNA libraries
• for quantifying the levels of gene expression

Features and Benefits

Titan^™ One Tube RT-PCR System:

• High Fidelity: Expand^™ High Fidelity enzyme blend with proofreading activity reduces the error rate in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
• offers a threefold higher fidelity in comparison to Taq DNA polymerase
• delivers increased sensitivity due to the high efficiency of all three enzymes
• faster than conventional two-step reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR
• allows the amplification of full-length cDNA up to 6 kb by RT-PCR due to the use of the Expand^™ PCR System

Packaging
