High Efficient Reverse Transcription Kit
ReverTra Ace -α-®

Description

ReverTra Ace-α-® is an efficient and convenient kit to synthesize high quality cDNA. This kit contains the highly efficient reverse transcriptase "ReverTra Ace®", as well as other components optimized for the synthesis of long cDNAs suitable for RT-PCR. ReverTra Ace® is an M-MLV reverse transcriptase that has been improved by point mutation technology. ReverTra Ace® has two mutations in the polymerase and RNase H domains.

Application data

Example 1. Detection of human β-actin mRNA by RT-PCR utilizing ReverTra Ace-α-® and various PCR enzymes

cDNA was synthesized using 1 mg total RNA from the human cell line (HeLa cell) at 42ºC for 20 minutes, followed by inactivation with ReverTra Ace-α-® in a volume of 20 ml at 99ºC for 5 minutes. Subsequently, using the attained cDNA, the target gene (β-actin: 838 bp) was amplified with various PCR enzymes.As shown in Fig. 1, the target genes were successfully amplified using the various PCR enzymes tested.
