polymerase and 5X faster than Pfu DNA polymerase (1)

• More accurate PCR in a shorter time

• No truncated amplification products in PCR reaction

A C C U R A T E

The One Step RT-PCR Kit is designed for rapid, sensitive detection of

gene expression in tissues and cells. The kit takes advantage of the

properties of recombinant Thermus thermophilus (rTth) DNA

Polymerase, which acts as both a thermostable RNA-dependent DNA

polymerase and a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase. In a single

reaction, cDNA is synthesized from input RNA through reverse

transcription, followed by PCR amplification of the cDNA without

changing the buffer or adding reagents.The amplified DNA is normal-

ly analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Use of gene specific primers or oligo(dT) and one gene specific 5'

primer is recommended with the kit. Amplification of a specific

message requires approximately two hours.

Each kit provides sufficient reagents to perform 50 RT-PCR reactions.

Positive Control RNA and Control Primers are also included.

ADVANTAGES

• Robust one-step, one-enzyme system for easy

reaction assembly

• Eliminates the risk of cross-contamination associated with two

step RT-PCR protocols

• High temperature (60°C) reverse transcription enhances

read-through of RNA secondary structure or high

GC content

• Ideal for gene expression studies

First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit

RT- PCR T O O L S

The First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit is designed for the preparation

of high quality first strand cDNA from cellular RNA templates.The kit

a choice of general priming strategies as alternatives to user-supplied

specific primers. The reaction conditions are compatible with direct

addition of primers and KOD Hot Start DNA Polymerase or KOD XL

DNA Polymerase for amplification of the cDNA product.

ADVANTAGES

• MMLV Reverse Transcriptase provides superior yields of

full-length cDNA

• Both oligo(dT) and random hexamer primed synthesis options

• Kit configured for direct addition of reagents and primers

• Positive Control RNA and Control Primers included in kit

NovaTaq™ Hot Start DNA Polymerase

NovaTaq™ Hot Start DNA Polymerase is a heat-activatable, chemical-

ly modified form of Taq DNA polymerase that is inactive at room tem-

perature. NovaTaq Hot Start DNA Polymerase provides improved

primer-dimers and misprimed products.The enzyme must be activat-

ed by heat treatment (7–10 min at 95˚C) before polymerization is

possible. The enzyme leaves single 3'-dA overhangs that make the

products suitable for cloning with Novagen’s AccepTor™ Vector Kits.

Each order also includes optimized 10X NovaTaq Hot Start Buffer and

a separate vial of 25 mM MgCl2.

The Taq Antibody is a mouse monoclonal antibody that inhibits Taq

DNA polymerase activity at ambient temperatures. It provides an anti-

body-mediated hot start that enhances the specificity, sensitivity, and

convenience of PCR. Inhibition is effective during reaction assembly at

room temperature, and is completely reversed when thermal cycling

begins, with no other effect on PCR conditions.The antibody inhibits

both native and recombinant Taq DNA polymerase activities, including

NovaTaq DNA Polymerase.

One microgram (1 µl) of antibody inhibits > 95% of 5 units of Taq

DNA polymerase. For convenience, simply mix 100 µl Taq Antibody

with 500 U (100 µl) NovaTaq DNA Polymerase, incubate for 5 minutes

at room temperature, and proceed with PCR. The polymerase:anti-

body complex can be freshly prepared for each experiment or stored

at –20°C for later use.

ADVANTAGES

• Higher PCR specificity and yield

• Improved low-copy target amplification

• Room temperature set-up compatible with automation

Non-fluorescent visible co-precipitant for automated sequencing applications

Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitant* is a non-fluorescent dye-labeled

carrier compatible with fluorescent sequencing and other applications.

It can increase precipitation speed and efficiency, lower centrifugation

times, and help rapidly clean up unincorporated BigDye™ terminators.

Since nucleic acid pellets with Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitant are so

visible, small pellets are unlikely to be lost and pellet dissolution is

clearly visible.

Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitant is fully compatible with the ABI PRISM®

BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction. To avoid extra

sample handling, Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitant can be added directly

to the reaction mix, template DNA, crude PCR samples, or dilution

buffer prior to the cycle sequencing reaction. Pellet Paint NF Co-

Precipitant has no detectable effect on the sequencing reaction or

sequencing accuracy.

Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitant

Rapid, quantitative precipitation of DNA and RNA, including PCR clean-up

Pellet Paint® Co-Precipitant* is a visible dye-labeled carrier

formulated specifically for use in alcohol precipitation of nucleic acids.

The five-minute precipitation protocol requires no low temperature

incubations or prolonged centrifugation. Both RNA and DNA are

efficiently precipitated from solutions as dilute as 2 ng/ml, and the

pellet is easily located by its vivid pink color.The pellet can be easily

followed during washing steps, preventing losses during handling. Pellet

Paint is compatible with most molecular biology procedures and is free

of contaminating nucleic acids and nucleolytic enzymes. Pellet Paint is

compatible with Cy5-based automated sequencers. Pellet Paint NF

(below) is recommended for use with PE Applied Biosystems

automated sequencers.

The Perfectly Blunt® Cloning Kits are designed for simplified cloning of

DNA generated by PCR using any type of DNA polymerase. This

approach enables the use of high fidelity proofreading enzymes for

amplification, thus decreasing the probability of generating mutations in

the target sequence. With the Perfectly Blunt cloning protocol, you can

go from PCR product to plating transformants in less than 1 hour with

minimal hands-on time.

The finished PCR reaction product is converted to a blunt, phosphorylat-

ed form in a 15-minute reaction using premixed reagents. Following a 5-

minute heat inactivation step, the treated insert is combined with the

ready-to-use vector and ligated in an optimized reaction using premixed

reagents. An exclusive 8-minute transformation procedure using highly

efficient NovaBlue Singles™ Competent Cells generates recombinant

colonies that are easily visualized by blue/white screening.

Six different plasmid vectors are available in Perfectly Blunt Cloning Kits.

Vector choices include those designed for general cloning, sequencing,

optimal transcription/translation, and optimal protein expression in E. coli.

Please refer to the table on the facing page for features and applications of

the vectors.

ADVANTAGES

• Blunt methodology is 3- to 24-fold more efficient than T-vectorcloning methods (1)

• No restriction enzymes or special primers

• Direct ligation of PCR product with vector

• Compatible with any DNA polymerase

• Blue/white screening with all vectors

• Simple protocol takes as little as 45 minutes from PCR product toplating transformants

Perfectly Blunt® Cloning Kits

AccepTor™ Vector Kits*

The AccepTor™ Vector Kits are designed for simplified cloning of

PCR products generated using non-proofreading thermostable DNA

polymerases, such as native and recombinant Taq polymerase, that

leave single 3'-dA overhangs on the reaction products.The linearized

AccepTor Vector contains single 3'-dU DNA ends that are

compatible with direct ligation of these products without the need for

intermediate reactions.The dU residues are converted to dT residues

in vivo following transformation.

*AccepTor Vector Kits are covered under U.S. Patent No. 5,856,144 issued to Novagen, Inc.
