The SYBR Green I fluorescent dye contained can bind to all double-stranded DNA, allowing this product to be used for the detection of many different target sequences without the need to synthesize specific labeling probes. Real Time RT-qPCR reaction using this product, reverse transcription and quantitative PCR are carried out in the same reaction system, there is no need to add reagents during the reaction, no need to open the cap of the tube, avoiding contamination while improving the efficiency of the experiment. The new high-efficiency reverse transcriptase RNase H is activity-deficient, which reduces the degradation of RNA in the reverse transcription reaction. The enzyme has high reverse transcription efficiency and can perform a good reverse transcription reaction on a small amount of RNA template. It has high affinity to RNA and can read through RNA templates with high GC content and complex secondary structure. New efficient hot start enzyme, the enzyme activity is closed at room temperature, thus effectively avoiding non-specific amplification caused by non-specific binding of primers and templates or primer dimerization at room temperature, which greatly improves the accuracy of fluorescence quantitative PCR reaction. The included buffer system maximizes the efficacy of both enzymes at the same time and improves efficiency. This product has high sensitivity, high specificity, wide linear range, and more accurate quantification of target genes.ROX dye is used to correct the fluorescence signal error generated between wells of a quantitative PCR instrument, and is generally used with Real Time PCR amplifiers from ABI, Stratagene, and other companies. The excitation optics vary from instrument to instrument, so the concentration of ROX dye must be matched to the corresponding fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument. Instruments that do not require ROX calibration (U665567) Roche LightCycler 480, Roche LightCyler 96, Bio-rad iCyler iQ, iQ5, CFX96 and others. Instruments that require High ROX calibration (U665751) ABI Prism 7000/7300/7700/7900, Eppendorf, ABI Step One/Step One Plus, and others.matters needing attention1.
