First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit

Thermo Scientific™ Fermentas First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit is a complete system for the efficient synthesis of first strand cDNA from RNA templates.

Brand:  Thermo Scientific K1612

Product Code. 10774691

Description

Perform efficient synthesis of first strand cDNA from RNA templates with the complete system in Thermo Scientific™ Fermentas First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit.

The kit utilizes the recombinant M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase which exhibits lower RNase H activity than AMV reverse transcriptase. The recombinant RiboLock RNase Inhibitor, supplied with the kit effectively protects RNA template from degradation. The oligo(dT)₁₈ anneals selectively on the poly(A) tail of mRNA. Random hexamer primers do not require the presence of poly(A). Therefore, they can be used for transcription of the 5'-end regions of mRNA or cDNA synthesis using RNA without poly(A) tail, e.g., micro RNAs. Gene-specific primers may also be used with the kits.The first strand of cDNA can be directly used as a template in PCR (see RT-PCR protocol) or in second strand cDNA synthesis (see protocol).
