The qScript Flex cDNA Synthesis Kit is configured in separate components for supporting multiple RT priming strategies. The kit provides optimized, flexible components for priming with oligo-dT(20), random hexamers, gene-specific primer (GSP), or any combination thereof. This unique 5X master mix of buffer, magnesium, stabilizers and dNTPs simplifies reaction assembly and ensures robust and reproducible synthesis of first strand product from 10 pg to 4µg of total RNA or purified polyA+ RNA template. The resulting cDNA product is directly compatible with current real-time RT-PCR methods or end-point RT-PCR. Length of cDNA product is dependent upon priming strategy and quality of the RNA template. Oligo dT or GSP can be used for two-step RT-PCR of RNA targets up to 12 kb. Random primer is suitable for RT-PCR of RNA targets less than 1 kb. Any of the three priming methods are suitable for real-time quantitative RT PCR (RT-qPCR).

Storage & Handling
qScript cDNA Flex Kit components are stable for up to 1 year when stored in a constant temperature freezer at or below -20°C. Reagent performance is unaffected by 20+ repetitive freeze-thaw. Thaw completely on ice then pulse vortex to mix and briefly spin-down to collect contents before opening tube. Concentrated reagents are viscous. When drawing out material, touch pipette tip to liquid interface but do not immerse.
