Overview

• Convenient – With the ready-to-use Master Mix, the user needs only to add template to the master mix and enzyme in order to set up the reverse transcriptase reaction
• Time Savings – Set up RT reactions in a shorter time since less pipetting steps are required
• Cost Efficient – No need to buy separate enzymes, dNTPs and buffers. All are included with the ready-to-use Master Mix kits
• High Sensitivity and Yield – the optimized Master Mix allows for highly sensitive amplifications with high yields of PCR products
• Robust Enzyme – broad range of working temperatures from 37°C to 60°C. Capable of amplifying difficult templates with a high degree of reproducibility

TruScript Reverse Transcriptase is Available in Three Convenient Formats:

1. TruScript Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Cat.#54440)

This kit contains 5X RT Buffer and a vial of TruScript Enzyme Mix (200 units/µL). This enzyme can be used for reverse-transcription reactions with any user-supplied primers.

2. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Cat.#54420)

This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of total RNA (both poly A- or non-poly A-containing transcripts).

The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and primers (oligo dT and random hexamers) for effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts.

3. TruScript First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit for mRNA (Cat.#54400)

This is an all-in-one, ready-to-use product for simple set-up of reverse transcription of messenger RNA (poly A-containing transcripts).

The kit contains the 2x Reaction Mix and the TruScript Enzyme Mix. The 2x Reaction Mix contains a blend of buffer, nucleotides and oligo dT primer for the effective cDNA synthesis from total RNA transcripts or enriched mRNA sample.

OverView

ArcticZymes RNA to DNA Ligase (ArcticZymes R2D Ligase™) is the first ligase on the market that is able to ligate DNA to 5’-phosphorylated ends of RNA in the presence of a DNA template positioning the joinable ends. With its unique substrate specificity, ArcticZymes R2D Ligase allows the development of new technologies in molecular biology research, diagnostics, and manufacturing.

Key Features:

• Novel substrate specificity
• RNA to DNA ligation
• High purity
• Detergent free
• Efficient ligation of DNA to 5’-phosphorylated ends of RNA in the presence of a DNA template positioning the ligatable ends of DNA and RNA
• ATP dependent dsDNA ligase
• Utilizes Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺

Suggested Applications:

• RNA capturing
• In vitro transcription  
• NGS library prep
• Transcriptome amplification
• miRNA detection/analysis
• RNA splint ligation

Description 

The DM5100 ExcelBand™ Super Range DNA Ladder is a ready-to-use DNA ladder, which is pre-mixed with loading dye for direct gel loading. The DNA Ladder DM5100 is composed of 26 individual DNA fragments: 25k, 10k, 8k, 6k, 5k, 4k, 3k, 2.5k, 2k, 1.5k, 1.2k, 1k, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100 and 50 base pairs derived from a mixture of PCR products and specifically digested plasmid DNA. This product contains four enhanced bands (3k, 1.2k, 500 and 200 bp) for easier reference. In addition, three tracking dyes, Xylene cyanol FF, Bromophenol blue and Orange G which mimic the migration of 4,000 bp, 500 bp and 50 bp dsDNA during electrophoresis are added for real time monitoring.
