RT MasterMixes
Easily synthesize cDNA in a single step with our All-In-One 5X RT MasterMix with gDNA Removal*. This optimized solution includes abm’s proprietary OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase, RNaseOFF Ribonuclease Inhibitor, temperature-sensitive DNase, dNTPs, and a perfectly balanced mix of Oligo (dT)s and Random Primers, all in ONE convenient tube!
For applications using pure RNA where genomic DNA removal is not required, try our OneScript® Hot 5X RT MasterMix. It offers a faster protocol for an even more efficient cDNA synthesis.
Genomic DNA Removal*
Efficient cDNA Synthesis
Easy One-Step Setup
Super Simple
All-In-One 5X RT MasterMix with gDNA Removal is a convenient and ready-to-use formulation for first-strand cDNA synthesis with an easy one-step setup that reduces pipetting and sample handling. Simply add your RNA sample with our mastermix and incubate.
Accurate cDNA Synthesis
Genomic DNA contamination is a common problem for accurate RNA detection and this MasterMix solves that problem without affecting reverse transcription and first-strand cDNA synthesis. cDNA synthesis will be simple, reliable, and reproducible.
OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase
Synthesize cDNA from complex RNA templates with abm’s OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase. Engineered for outstanding thermostability, our OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase is ideal for handling secondary structures (e.g. GC-rich templates) as well as long, degraded, or contaminated RNA samples, making it the superior choice for challenging RNA templates.
Extreme thermostability At 50-80°C
Transcribes degraded samples and resists inhibitors/contaminants
High cDNA yields from difficult or ultra-low RNA samples
Outstanding Thermostability
OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase has exceptional thermostability. OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. G593) was used in a 10 min. reaction with RNA template at temperatures ranging from 50 and 80˚C. The resulting synthesized cDNA was followed by PCR and visualized on a 1% agarose gel.
OneScript® Plus Reverse Transcriptase
Routine cDNA synthesis can be completed in just 10-15 minutes with abm’s OneScript® Plus Reverse Transcriptase! OneScript® Plus Reverse Transcriptase has improved thermostability and is engineered for high cDNA yields, high efficiency on low-input, long, or difficult RNA templates, and resistance to inhibitors and contaminants.
High thermostability at 50-55°C
Synthesize 15 kb RNA Templates
10-15 minutes reaction time
Excellent Elongation Ability
OneScript® Plus Reverse Transcriptase can elongate RNA templates up to 15 kb in length. OneScript® Plus Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. G237) was used in a reaction with a range of human RNA fragments. The resulting synthesized cDNA was followed by PCR and visualized on a 1% agarose gel.
