Real Time PCR Reagents and Kits
Products designed for use during real-time (quantitative) PCR procedures. Includes master mixes, DNA polymerases, reverse transcriptases, size standards, kits, and reagents.
Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a laboratory technique that combines the reverse transcription of RNA into DNA and the subsequent amplification of the DNA using PCR.
In RT-PCR, a reverse transcriptase enzyme converts an RNA template to its complementary DNA (cDNA). The cDNA then becomes the template for PCR amplification.
A typical RT-PCR kit includes the main components needed for the assay:
- Buffer
- Primers – a combination of deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) of the four bases of adenine (dATP), cytosine (dCTP), guanine (dGTP), and thymine (dTTP)
- Reverse transcriptase reagent
The combination of RT-PCR and qPCR techniques (sometimes labelled RT-qPCR) is often used in research and clinical labs to analyze gene expression and quantify viral RNA. Since this method uses fluorescence to track the amplification reaction, these kits may also include:
- Fluorogenic primers or labeled fluorogenic probes
- Fluorescent dye
Reagents for cDNA PCR can be purchased separately or as cDNA synthesis kits.
RT-PCR is commonly used for RNA detection, molecular cloning, and gene sequencing. RT-qPCR is used for gene expression analysis, RNAi or microarray validation, pathogen detection, genetic testing, and other disease research.
Active Motif Human Positive Control Primer Set MYT1
Human Control qPCR Primer Sets were designed to serve as positive or negative ChIP controls when performing chromatin immunoprecipitation with human samples. Each primer set is a mixture of forward and reverse primers that have been validated for qPCR and endpoint PCR of ChIP samples from multiple human cell lines.
LGC GENOMICS LLC (Lucigen) QuickExtract RNA Extraction Kit, 50 mLRapid extraction of RT-PCR ready RNA from cultured mammalian cells.
The QuickExtract™ RNA Extraction Kit is a fast, simple way of preparing RNA for RT-PCR (both end-point and real-time). The single-tube system requires only vortex mixing to lyse the cells, and prepare the RNA for cDNA synthesis.

New England Biolabs, Inc. Luna Cell Ready Probe One-Step RT-qPCR Kit – 100 reactions
The Luna Cell Ready Probe One-Step RT-qPCR Kit provides all the necessary components for direct, probe-based RNA detection and quantitation, bypassing the need for RNA extraction and purification. The Luna Cell Ready Probe One-Step RT-qPCR Kit is composed of: 1) the Luna Cell Ready Lysis Module and 2) the Luna Universal Probe One-Step RT-qPCR Kit. Coordinating the actions of DNase I and the Luna Cell Ready Protease, the Luna Cell Ready Lysis Module offers a simple alternative workflow resulting in effective cell lysis, RNA release, and genomic DNA removal simultaneously in a 15-minute protocol. The Lysis Module includes a unique Luna Cell Ready RNA Protection Reagent that maintains RNA integrity during cell lysis. The lysis capacity spans 10 -100,000 cells in a 50 µl lysis reaction. Up to 2 µl of lysate (equivalent to RNA from 0.2 - 4,000 cells) can be transferred into 20 µl downstream RT-qPCR reactions.
Takara Bio PrimeScript™ RT Reagent Kit (Perfect Real Time)
PrimeScript RT Reagent Kit is designed to perform reverse transcription optimized for real-time RT-PCR. It uses PrimeScript Reverse Transcriptase, which features excellent extension. The kit makes fast, efficient cDNA template synthesis for real-time PCR possible. This kit's protocol is simple and suitable for high throughput analysis. It can be used in combination with real-time PCR reagents such as TB Green Premix Ex Taq II (Tli RNaseH Plus) (Cat. #RR820A/B), TB Green Fast qPCR Mix (Cat. #RR430A/B), TB Green Premix Ex Taq (Tli RNaseH Pluse) (Cat. #RR420A/B), or Probe qPCR Mix (Cat. #RR391A/B) for two step real-time RT-PCR. The optimized protocol for assay can be selected in each assay condition using either TB Green or a probe.
Biotium Forget-Me-Not™ EvaGreen qPCR Master Mix (Low ROX) (2000 reactions)
Forget-Me-Not™ is a high performance qPCR master mix with 2-color reaction component tracking system available for a fraction of the cost of similar products.
New England Biolabs, Inc. Exo-CIP Rapid PCR Cleanup Kit – 100 reactions
The Exo-CIP Rapid PCR Cleanup Kit contains optimized formulations of thermolabile Exonuclease I and thermolabile Calf Intestinal Phosphatase (CIP) and is used to rapidly degrade residual PCR primers and dephosphorylate excess dNTPs after amplification. Degradation occurs in only 4 minutes at 37C, and is immediately followed by rapid inactivation of the enzymes by heating for 1 minute at 80C. In just 5 minutes, the PCR product is ready for downstream analysis, such as Sanger Sequencing, SNP detection, or library preparation for NGS. The Exo-CIP Rapid PCR Cleanup Kit is compatible with all commonly-used PCR buffers.
