Applied Biosystems has developed a line of reagents for streamlining the process of quantitative reverse transcription PCR in RNA-based research applications. The new solutions expand Applied Biosystems’ portfolio of reverse transcription PCR reagents. The High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA Master Mix and High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA Kit are for first strand cDNA synthesis, TaqMan RNA-to-CT 2-Step Kit and Power SYBR Green RNA-to-CT 2-Step Kit are for screening a large number of targets from the same sample, and TaqMan RNA-to-CT 1-Step Kit (to be released April 2008) and Power SYBR Green RNA-to-CT 1-Step Kit are for one-step workflows with reduced hands-on processing.
