UltraScript® Reverse Transcriptase is a thermostable and extremely active modified MMLV reverse transcriptase (RTase) for cDNA synthesis. The reaction temperature can be increased up to 55 °C providing higher specificity and efficient transcription of GC-rich RNA regions with a high secondary structure. The RTase is blended with an advanced RNase inhibitor preventing degradation of RNA by contaminating RNase. UltraScript® Reverse Transcriptase is not inhibited by ribosomal and transfer RNAs, making total RNA an ideal substrate.
The enzyme is supplied with a 5x buffer containing Mg, dNTPs, stabilizers and enhancers, optimised to generate high yield cDNA from as little as 4 pg RNA. As oligos are not included, UltraScript® Reverse Transcriptase provides the convenience and flexibility for users to define their own priming strategy depending on the type of analysis needed. UltraScript® Reverse Transcriptase gives exceptional performance with gene-specific primers, oligo(dT) and random hexamers to produce high quality cDNA ideal for a variety of downstream applications.
