RNAConnect's 2X qPCR Green Master Mix is a dye-based qPCR reagent optimized for accurate, reproducible real-time RNA quantification. Paired with full-length cDNA from a highly processive reverse transcriptase, such as UltraMarathonRT®, it delivers consistent Ct values regardless of qPCR primer pair location, removing a source of variability that affects RT-qPCR workflows built on non-processive retroviral RTs.
Key Features and Advantages
-
Dye-Based Detection: Reliable dye-based chemistry for accurate, reproducible real-time monitoring of RNA levels on standard qPCR instruments.
- Consistent Quantification: When paired with full-length cDNA, provides consistent Ct values regardless of primer type (gene-specific, oligo(dT), or randomer) or amplicon location, as opposed to other master mixes, which can show widely different Ct values depending on where primers fall relative to GC-rich or structured regions.
- Fast Reaction Time: Run a full qPCR reaction in as little as ~35 minutes.
-
Broad Compatibility: Works with cDNA from any first-strand synthesis reaction, though performance benefits (primer-position independence) are maximized when paired with UltraMarathonRT-generated cDNA.
Key Applications
- Gene expression quantification for RNA-Seq verification, alternative splice variant analysis, and mutation detection/allele discrimination
- Downstream quantification step for CRISPR knockdown/knockout confirmation, RNAi and ASO knockdown verification, RNA degradation, and RNA editing studies, when paired with UltraMarathonRT-generated cDNA
