Product Highlights
- Sensitive – optimized buffer formulation delivers reliable quantification from even very low copy number RNA targets
- Reproducible – consistent results between technical replicates for increased confidence in results
- Robust – reliable detection of RNA targets from a broad range of sample types
- Fast – delivers reproducible, accurate assay results in as little as 40 minutes
- Efficient – excellent performance in multiplex assays
- Specific – antibody-mediated hot-start DNA polymerase minimizes non-specific amplification for improved assay sensitivity and reliability
Product Description
The SensiFAST Probe Lo-ROX One-Step Kit has been optimized for fast, efficient, unbiased cDNA synthesis and subsequent highly-sensitive, reproducible real-time PCR detection in a single tube. SensiFAST Probe One-Step has been optimized to deliver excellent results in both singleplex and multiplex assays.
An antibody-mediated hot-start DNA polymerase promotes rapid activation and supports highly-specific amplification, which in turn improves assay sensitivity and dynamic range. A combination of the latest advances in buffer chemistry and PCR enhancers confer superior assay performance under fast thermal cycling conditions. The inclusion of separate RiboSafe Inhibitor ensures accuracy by protecting RNA targets from RNase degradation.
The SensiFAST™ Probe Lo-ROX One-Step Kit has been validated on all commonly-used real-time instruments that require a low concentration of the passive reference dye ROX. SensiFAST Probe One-Step has been formulated for use with dual-labelled probes, including TaqMan®, Scorpions® and molecular beacon probes.
Applications
- Gene expression analysis
- Pathogen detection
- RNA viral pathogen detection
- Genetic profiling
- miRNA profiling / quantification
- Genetically modified organisms (GMO) characterization

Introduction to SensiFAST
Overview, features and benefits of the SensiFAST product familyOne-step Vs. Two-step real-time RT PCR
A discussion of the pros and cons of each detection strategy.I compared the SensiFAST Probe One-Step Kit with another very popular product. SensiFAST Probe One-Step gave improved sensitivity, which was reflected in lower Ct values. Also, this product is a very good price. Value for money!!
