ProbeSure™ OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix seamlessly combines reverse transcription (RT) and PCR amplification into a single, streamlined reaction. This innovative mastermix simplifies laboratory workflows by eliminating the need for separate steps, allowing direct conversion of RNA to cDNA followed by efficient PCR amplification, all in one tube.
Designed for high efficiency and sensitivity, ProbeSure™ OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix enables reliable detection of low-abundance RNA targets. It is ideal for diverse applications including gene expression analysis, viral RNA detection, and genotyping. Proven to perform robustly across a wide range of RNA templates, it is perfectly suited for both routine testing and challenging samples.
Key Benefits:
A one-step RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) allows for the amplification of a target DNA sequence directly from an RNA sample. It combines reverse transcription of RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) and subsequent amplification of the target DNA sequence in a single reaction tube. Reverse transcription and cDNA amplification can also be carried out in two separate reactions (two-step method), but the one-step approach significantly improves and streamlines the workflow and reduces the risk of contamination.

ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix is designed for highly specific and sensitive one-step reverse transcriptase (RT) fluorescently-reporting PCR using RNA template.
The master mix includes optimised components which allow reverse transcription and subsequent PCR amplification to take place in the same reaction well.
ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix may be used in endpoint or real-time modes.
The ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix reaction is comprised of two parts:
When combined with template RNA, these components create a ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR.
ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix is designed for use in PCR genotyping applications with hydrolysis probe-based assays. It can be used with a variety of fluorogenic probe types including TaqMan®, ZEN™ probes and BHQ® / BHQplus® probes.
ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix can be used with any standard qPCR instrument, peltier or water bath-based thermal cycler. The fluorescent data should be captured at the PCR endpoint at 40˚C or below.
ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix can be used with any reaction plate or well volume. It is important that it is used at a final 1x concentration.
When using the ProbeSure OneStep RT-PCR Master Mix, please keep in mind that RNA is highly susceptible to ubiquitous RNases. Care should be taken when handling the samples. An empirical optimisation of RNA concentration should be carried out by testing a sample dilution range. If RNA samples contain EDTA, the concentration at the final reaction concentration should be no higher than 0.1 mM.
