Considerations for Use of Taq Polymerase in Molecular Diagnostic Assays

The GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System includes a reverse transcriptase and a specialized set of reagents for efficient synthesis of first-strand cDNA optimized for quantitative PCR amplification. GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase uses M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase and state-of-the-art buffer technology to deliver robust, reliable cDNA synthesis of a full range of rare and abundant transcripts, even in the presence of inhibitors. GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase is qualified for use in qPCR, including GoTaq® qPCR and Plexor® RT-qPCR systems.GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System Features & Benefits: Ultra-Active - Save money on every reaction. Sensitive - Detect rare transcripts. Processive - Transcribe long messages. Resilient - Synthesize cDNA in the presence of strong inhibitors.

Experience improved PCR performance with GoTaq® DNA Polymerase products. GoTaq® DNA Polymerase is a proprietary formulation of Taq DNA polymerase that gives robust amplification equal to and in some cases superior to that of standard Taq DNA polymerase. GoTaq® DNA Polymerase comes in a variety of formulations designed to give you maximum flexibility, control and convenience.

The GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix is optimized for quantitative PCR assays in the hydrolysis probe detection format.   It is provided as a ready-to-use, stabilized 2X formulation that includes all components for qPCR (except template, primers and probe). This master mix does not contain a reference dye; however, a separate tube of carboxy-X-rhodamine (CXR) reference dye is included with this system, allowing users to add reference dye to amplification reactions if desired. The GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix is designed to provide resistance to a wide range of PCR inhibitors. This formulation uses antibody-mediated hot-start chemistry, allowing reaction setup to be performed at room temperature. The master mix also employs rapid hot-start activation and processive enzymes, making it compatible with both standard and fast instrument cycling programs.
