The High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit, available with or without RNase Inhibitor, contains all components necessary for the quantitative conversion of up to 2 μg of total RNA into single-stranded cDNA in a single 20 μL reaction. Both types of kit deliver extremely high-quality, single-stranded cDNA from 0.02–2 μg total RNA. Reactions can be scaled up to 100 μL to generate 10 μg of cDNA from a single reaction.

The High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit with RNase Inhibitor includes the recombinant enzyme used to prevent degradation of RNA templates and lacks DNA endonuclease activity for better product yield.

In addition to their use in RT-PCR, this kit may be used in traditional PCR, microarrays, and for the generation of cDNA archives.

Features of the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit include:
• Linear target amplification for real-time PCR
• Higher yields and precision than other cDNA synthesis kits at a fraction of the cost
• 10-fold greater dynamic range than other kits

Extensively tested with a variety of templates
Quantitative first-strand synthesis of all RNA species is achieved with the use of the random primers. This kit has been extensively tested with a variety of RNA templates, including GC- and AU-rich targets and RNAs expressed at low levels. cRNA can also be efficiently generated from in vitro transcription of cDNA.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How long can I store the cDNA from my reverse transcription step?

You can store your cDNA at 2-6 degrees C for up to 24 hours. For long-term storage, store the cDNA at -15 to -25 degrees C and add EDTA to a final concentration of 1 mM to prevent degradation.

Can I order the RNase Inhibitor from the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit separately?

Yes. You can order the RNase Inhibitor separately as Cat. No. N8080119.

Can one use the reagents from High Capacity RT kit to make cDNA for TaqMan MicroRNA Assay?

Yes. You can use the reagents from the High Capacity cDNA Kit PN 4368814 (without RNAse Inhibitor) or 4374966 (with RNAse Inhibitor). Make sure to use the reverse transcription primer provided from the TaqMan miRNA assay for the reverse transcription.

Which kit should I use for the reverse transcription step for TaqMan Pri-miRNA assays (Cat. No. 4427012)?

We recommend the following kits:

  • High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Cat. No. 4374966).
  • High-Capacity RNA-to-cDNA Kit (Cat. No. 4387406).
