GoTaq® 2-Step RT-qPCR System by Promega Corp.

GoTaq®2-Step RT-qPCR System is a reagent system for quantitative analysis of RNA using a two-step reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) method.

The first step consists of cDNA synthesis using the GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System. Optimized reagents and ultra-active, GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase result in high-efficiency, full-length cDNA synthesis from rare and abundant targets with up to 5 µg of RNA input. In the second step, cDNA is quantified using the GoTaq®qPCR Master Mix.

Formulated with a hot-start DNA polymerase, the GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix is optimized for reproducibly specific, sensitive, highly efficient qPCR using the standard or fast mode of a real-time PCR instrument. The GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix contains BRYT™ GREEN dye which can be twice as bright as of SYBR® Green I. The superior performance of these two steps allows researchers to observe earlier quantification cycle values over broader linear ranges.

The GoTaq® 2-Step RT-qPCR System provides a ready-to-use kit for analyzing a wide range of RNA targets by combining the high-activity of GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System with the ultra-bright fluorescence of GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix. The system is robust, requires little optimization, is flexible for a variety of applications, and carries the PCR performance guarantee.
