Performance Data

qScript™ One-Step Fast qRT-PCR Kit


Rapid One-Step qRT-PCR with Broad Dynamic Range and High Sensitivity (ACTB)
Beta actin mRNA was amplified from log-fold serial dilutions of HeLa cell total RNA (1 µg to 1 pg) in 10-µL volumes with the qScript™ One-Step Fast qRT-PCR Kit and FAM-BHQ1 labeled 5’-hydrolysis probe. Triplicate reactions for each RNA quantity were incubated for 5 min at 50ºC followed by 30s at 95ºC and then 40 cycles of 3s, 95ºC; 20s, 60ºC on a Mastercycler® ep realplex S (Eppendorf). Total run time was under 41 minutes.

qScript™ One-Step Fast MGB qRT-PCR Kit


Rapid One-Step qRT-PCR with Broad Dynamic Range and High Sensitivity (GAPD)
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase mRNA was amplified from log-fold serial dilutions of HeLa cell total RNA (1 µg to 1 pg) in 10-µL volumes with the qScript™ One-Step Fast MGB qRT-PCR Kit and GAPD (FAM-MGB) TaqMan® Endogenous Control primer/probe set (Applied Biosystems). Triplicate reactions for each RNA quantity were incubated for 5 min at 50ºC followed by 30s at 95ºC and then 40 cycles of 3s, 95ºC; 20s, 60ºC on a Mastercycler® ep realplex S (Eppendorf). Total run time was under 41 minutes.

About PerfeCTa™ FastMixes™

PerfeCTa™ FastMixes™ set a new standard for high efficiency qPCR results with a significantly faster protocol for increased productivity. PerfeCTa™ qPCR FastMixes™ are 2X concentrated, ready-to-use reaction cocktails that deliver maximum PCR efficiency, sensitivity, specificity and robust fluorescent signal using either fast or conventional cycling protocols. Rapid cycling is achieved by instant activation of AccuFast™ Taq DNA polymerase coupled with rapid polymerization kinetics. The result is qPCR in as little as 33 minutes. PerfeCTa™ qPCR FastMixes™ are available for all real-time PCR instrument platforms including those requiring normalization with ROX reference dye.
