General description

ThermaStop™-RT is a proprietary additive for One-Step, or Two-Step Reverse Transcriptase-PCR assays containing gene-specific primers. ThermaStop™-RT interacts with the reverse transcriptase at low temperatures to reduce priming errors. ThermaStop™-RT improves detection sensitivity and specific product yield by eliminating priming errors at low temperature. ThermaStop-RT acts as a Hot-start which binds and inhibits DNA polymerase activity. It also renatures the DNA polymerase upon cooling and activates its functions at lower temperatures or post-amplification.

Application

ThermaStop™-RT is suitable for gene expression quantitative PCR (qPCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications.

Features and Benefits

  • It eliminates the non-specific product formation
  • Provides increased sensitivity and specificity
  • Provides higher yield and pure cDNA synthesis for conventional RT-PCR
  • It minimizes the primer-dimer formation
  • It utilizes the same cycling conditions as conventional Taq polymerase
  • Decreases the RNA secondary structure
  • Stable at low temperatures
  • Enzymes are inhibited at below 55°C
  • Compatible with several RT-PCR enzymes
  • Provides better multiplexing, efficient primer use
  • Better quantitative accuracy and monoplex and multiplex amplification sensitivity

Packaging

One unit of ThermaStop™-RT is defined as the amount required for optimal performance in a one-step RT-PCR containing 50 units of reverse transcriptase (RT) and one unit of hot-start Taq Polymerase in a volume of 20 uL and a temperature of 50 degrees C.

Preparation Note

Dissolve in Tris pH 8.3 buffer

Other Notes

RT-PCR, *Please note ThermaStop™-RT should not be used in combination with ThermaStop™ or ThermaGo™.
