商品名称:QuantiTect Multiplex RT-PCR Kit (200)
QuantiTect RT-PCR Kits enable sensitive quantification of RNA targets by real-time one-step PCR using sequence-specific probes or SYBR Green I detection. The kits also allow reliable quantification of up to 5 RNA targets in a single tube by multiplex, real-time one-step RT-PCR. The combination of a hot start and a unique PCR buffer system in the ready-to-use master mix ensures highly sensitive qRT-PCR on any real-time cycler without the need for optimization. The dNTP mix includes dUTP, allowing optional treatment with UNG. For convenience, the master mixes in QuantiTect one-step RT-PCR kits can be stored at 2–8°C.
Two kit formats are available for multiplex RT-PCR using sequence-specific probes: the QuantiTect Multiplex RT-PCR Kit for cyclers that require ROX dye for fluorescence normalization, and the QuantiTect Multiplex RT-PCR NoROX Kit for all other cyclers. The QuantiTect SYBR Green RT-PCR Kit is supplied with an optimized RT mix for efficient and sensitive reverse transcription over a wide range of RNA template amounts.
HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase included in QuantiTect one-step RT-PCR kits increases the specificity of the PCR reaction by providing the most stringent hot start compared with other polymerases.
The QuantiTect SYBR Green RT-PCR Kit contains a unique blend of reverse transcriptases, which delivers efficient and sensitive cDNA synthesis over a wide range of amounts of RNA template and enables specific quantification over a wide linear range (see figure " Comparable results in one-step and two-step RT-PCR").
The QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit has a unique RT-PCR buffer that promotes highly specific annealing of primers and probes to the PCR template. HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase and the unique composition of the RT-PCR buffer enable the QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit to provide sensitive quantification of low-copy RNA targets, as well as accurate quantification over a wide linear range (see figure " High sensitivity and efficiency, and wide dynamic range").
Performing reverse transcription and PCR sequentially in the same tube does not impair sensitivity, as demonstrated by CT values that are comparable to those achieved in real-time two-step RT-PCR (see figures " One-step RT-PCR with comparable performance to two-step RT-PCR – A" and " One-step RT-PCR with comparable performance to two-step RT-PCR – B", and table “One-step RT-PCR with comparable performance to two-step RT-PCR”).

Sensitive detection of as few as 10 copies of target sequence (see figure " Detection of down to 10 copies of target RNA in duplex PCR") can be achieved in multiplex qRT-PCR with QuantiTect Multiplex RT-PCR Kits. Precise relative quantification of the expression of a gene is achieved by quantifying the expression of both the target gene and an endogenous control gene in the same well or tube. With QuantiTect Multiplex RT-PCR Kits, the CT values for the targets in a multiplex reaction are equivalent to those obtained in control experiments where the targets are amplified in separate reactions (see figure "Comparable amplification in triplex PCR and singleplex PCRs.
QuantiTect RT-PCR Kits contain an optimized, ready-to-use master mix for highly specific and sensitive real-time quantification of RNA targets using SYBR Green I or sequence-specific probes. The fluorescent dye SYBR Green I in the QuantiTect SYBR Green RT-PCR master mix enables the analysis of many different targets without having to synthesize target-specific labeled probes (see table “Components of 2x QuantiTect SYBR Green RT-PCR Kit”).

Precise relative quantification of the expression of a gene is achieved by quantifying the expression of both the target gene and an endogenous control gene in the same well or tube. The optimized master mix in the QuantiTect Multiplex RT-PCR Kit ensures that PCR products in a multiplex reaction are amplified with the same efficiency and sensitivity as PCR products in a corresponding single-amplification reactions (see table “Components of 2x QuantiTect Multiplex RT-PCR Kit”). As few as 10 copies of a target gene can be detected with the kit.
