![[RQ2200] ExcelRT™ One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (TaqMan, no ROX), 200 RXN](/web/image/product.template/461/image?unique=d17e3f1)
Description
The ExcelRT™ One-Step RT-qPCR kit (TaqMan, no ROX) is designed for reverse transcription and quantitative real-time analysis of a specific target RNA by one-step reaction. The ExcelRT™ One-Step RT-qPCR kit (TaqMan, no ROX), consisting of One-Step RT Enzyme Mix and 2X One-Step Master Mix, is a convenient kit designed for highly efficient cDNA synthesis and highly specific real-time PCR in a single tube. The One-Step RT Enzyme Mix contains a thermostable ExcelRT™ Reverse Transcriptase and a RNAok™ RNase inhibitor. Consequently, One-Step RT Enzyme Mix can reverse transcribe RNA to cDNA at a wide temperature range from 42 to 60°C and active against RNase A, RNase B and RNase C. By containing specialized hot-start Taq DNA polymerase, which greatly reduce primer-dimer formation and can be activated within 2 minutes, the 2X One-Step Master Mix features high specificity and is suitable for fast cycle program.

Recommended primer design
Amplicon size: 80-150 bp
Tm value: around 60°C (calculated with Primer3 software)
Primer length: 17-25 mer
Sequence:
‒ 45-55% of GC content is recommended.
‒ Avoid regional high GC or AT content
‒ Avoid palindrome sequence
‒ Sequence with G or C at the 3' end is recommended.
Specificity of primers should be confirmed through a BLAST search.
Recommended probe design
Tm value: 6-10°C higher than primers
Probe length: 20-30 mer
Sequence:
‒ 35-65% of GC content is recommended.
‒ Avoid regional high GC or AT content
‒ Select the strand contains more C’s than G’s
‒ Avoid palindrome sequence
‒ Avoid a G at the 5' end to prevent quenching of the 5’ fluorophore.
Specificity of probe should be confirmed through a BLAST search.
