Features and Benefits

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.

Figure 1. Robust Reverse Transcription of All RNA Transcripts. Norgen's TruScript Reverse Transcriptase is a mutant version of Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (M-MuLV) Reverse Transcriptase that can produce cDNA from different kinds of RNA transcripts, including those with high difficulty or a high degree of secondary structure. In Panel A, TruScript Reverse Transcriptase was compared with a competitor's M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase for RT-PCR of two different RNA transcripts. Norgen's TruScript showed good amplification for both targets while the competitor failed to amplify Target #2 with good quantity. In Panel B, TruScript Reverse Transcriptase was compared with a competitor's M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase in an RT-qPCR reaction. Norgen's TruScript Reverse Transcriptase provided a better amplification as shown with a lower Ct value.

Figure 2. High Sensitivity with Robust Amplification from Different Amounts of RNA Input. Norgen’s Norgen’s TruScript Reverse Transcriptase was used in an RT-qPCR reaction to amplify the human 5S rRNA transcripts from a dilution series of HeLa total RNA isolated using Norgen’s Total RNA Purification Kit. The PCR target was robustly amplified from a broad range of RNA inputs, from the 10 ng down to 1 pg.
