Titan One Tube RT-PCR System

Description

• General description: The Titan™ One Tube RT-PCR System uses Reverse Transcriptase (RT) Avian Myeloblastosis Virus (AMV) for first strand cDNA synthesis and the Expand™ High Fidelity enzyme blend consisting of Taq DNA Polymerase and a polymerase with a proofreading activity for amplification of cDNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The proofreading activity, leads to an increased PCR fidelity. The Titan One Tube RT-PCR System:Reduces the error rate in PCR due to the proofreading capability. A threefold higher fidelity is obtained in comparision to Taq DNA polymerase.Delivers increased sensitivity due to the high efficiency of all three enzymes.Is faster than conventional two-step RT-PCR.
• Specificity: Specificity of the reaction strongly depends on primer design and DNA contamination.To exclude artefacts from DNA targets appropriate positive and negative control reaction should be included.Heat inactivation: 2 min at 94 °CReverse Transcriptase AMV
• Application: Titan™ One Tube RT-PCR System has been used:to amplify the regions containing the miRNA target (miRT) inserts/response elements in viral RNA[1][2]for determining the presence or absence of RNA templates in cloning of rare messages without the need to construct cDNA libraries for quantifying the levels of gene expression
• Features and Benefits: Titan™ One Tube RT-PCR System:High Fidelity: Expand™ High Fidelity enzyme blend with proofreading activity reduces the error rate in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) offers a threefold higher fidelity in comparison to Taq DNA polymerase delivers increased sensitivity due to the high efficiency of all three enzymes faster than conventional two-step reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCRallows the amplification of full-length cDNA up to 6 kb by RT-PCR due to the use of the Expand™ PCR System
