Probe One-Step

The SensiFAST™ Probe One-Step Kits have been formulated for highly reproducible first-strand cDNA synthesis and subsequent real-time PCR in a single tube and uses a combination of the latest advances in buffer chemistry and enhancers, together with an antibody-mediated hot-start DNA polymerase system, to ensure fast, highly-specific and ultra-sensitive one-step RT-qPCR. This also gives SensiFAST Probe One-Step unbeatable efficiency in multiplexing. SensiFAST Probe One-Step Kits consists of a 2x SensiFAST Probe One-Step mix, separate reverse transcriptase and RiboSafe RNase Inhibitor.

  • Novel 1-step buffer optimized for highly-efficient RT and PCR steps
  • Improved consistency between technical replicates
  • Reproducible, accurate results in as little as 40 minutes
  • Antibody-mediated hot-start minimizes non-specific amplification
  • Excellent efficiency for improved multiplexing

“Very good linearity right down to 10 copies, very good correlation coefficient, good qPCR reaction efficiency and gave a single band on an agarose gel.”

King’s College London, UK

SYBR®

The SensiFAST™ SYBR® Kit has been developed for fast, highly-sensitive and reproducible qPCR and has been validated on commonly-used real-time PCR instruments. The use of an antibody-mediated hot-start DNA polymerase minimizes amplification from primer-dimers, thereby improving assay specificity and sensitivity.

  • Improved consistency between technical replicates
  • Reliable quantitation of low abundance targets
  • Reproducible, accurate results in as little as 30 minutes
  • Antibody-mediated hot-start minimizes non-specific amplification

Genotyping

The SensiFAST™ Genotyping Kit has been developed for high-performance dual-labelled probe assays that deliver fast, precise and highly reproducible characterization of sequence variants, including loci with type IV SNPs. The optimized buffer system promotes clear allelic discrimination and outstanding allele clustering.

  • Clear discrimination of all alleles
  • Tight fluorescence clusters
  • Reproducible results in as little as 30 minutes
  • Reliable genotyping from even very limiting amounts of sample
  • Genotyping from a wide range of samples


SensiFAST™ HRM Kit is a post-PCR analysis method of characterizing nucleic acid samples based on their DNA strand dissociation behavior, with increasing temperature, in the presence of saturating fluorescent dyes. Previously unknown and even complex sequence variations can be easily detected.

  • Clear discrimination of even the most challenging sequence differences
  • Unparalleled consistency between replicate difference plots
  • Efficient detection from limiting amounts of sample
  • Reliable characterization of a broad range of sequence differences
  • Rapid PCR amplification for increased throughput

Overview, features and benefits of the SensiFAST cDNA Synthesis Kit

“I have been using a Meridian qPCR mix (SensiFAST SYBR No-ROX, BIO-98020) for four years with Arabidopsis cDNA on a Bio-Rad CFX-96 and a Roche LightCycler-96 in 15 or 20 ul reaction volumes. I can highlight excellent technical replication, low baseline noise and good signal/noise ratio. Reasonable price quotations allow me also to stretch my budget. I know then that with an appropriate experimental design I can trust my results and expect them on time!”
