CFX Loyalty ProgramiTaq Universal One-Step RT-qPCR Kits are a fast and convenient solution for real-time PCR using the powerful combination of iScript RNase H+ MMLV reverse transcriptase and hot-start iTaq DNA Polymerase in one reaction, providing improved PCR efficiency, wider dynamic range, superior sensitivity and specificity, and inhibitor tolerance without affecting performance.
Available for SYBR®Green and probe-based qPCR assays, iTaq Universal One-Step Kits are ideal for low-to mid-throughput real-time PCR screening and validation. A simplified work flow and reduced cycling times enable screening and validation of the greatest number of samples and targets in the shortest period of time.
Features and Benefits of iTaq Universal One-Step RT-qPCR Kits
- Enhanced efficiency, specificity, and sensitivity— our patented inhibitor reducer* prevents interference of the DNA polymerase by the RT enzyme during cDNA replication
- Compatible with all real-time PCR instruments — our universal reference dye enables ROX normalization of qPCR data regardless of the ROX level requirements of the qPCR system
- Superior gene expression results under various cycling conditions — our robust formulation delivers consistent performance in standard or fast cycling conditions, primer concentrations, sample and target types, and temperature ranges, allowing cost and time savings
- Obtain superior results with singleplex and multiplex reactions — advanced formulation enables the simultaneous amplification of up to two targets, resulting in higher data precision with fewer pipet steps and reduced sample usage
