The Scriptase III is an enhanced variant of the Murine Leukemia Virus (MuLV) reverse transcriptase. Due to specific mutations in the RNase H domain of the reverse transcriptase, cDNA can be synthesised even from very small amounts of RNA. Scriptase III has additional mutations that make it even more robust and thermostable. It can therefore operate with maximum activity up to a temperature of 55°C. At these elevated temperatures, highly structured RNAs can easily unfold, allowing them to serve as templates for reverse transcription. It is the superior choice for complex tasks, such as Real-Time PCR and NGS.
- An improved version of M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase, which exhibits high thermal stability (~55°C) and low RNase H activity
- Capable of synthesizing first strand cDNA at 42 ~ 55°C with high specificity and yield; at such high temperatures, extensively structured RNAs can be readily unfolded to serve as templates for reverse transcription
- SuperiorScript III can synthesise long cDNAs (up to ~12kb)
- Purity: ﹥99% on SDS-PAGE
- Endonuclease- and exonuclease-free
