SmartRT™ Reverse Transcriptase Kit
$0.00 – $338.77
SmartRTTM Reverse Transcriptase is an engineered MMLV RT that improves the thermostability of the enzyme, reduces RNase H activity and its cDNA synthesis ability. The enzyme also has a terminal transferase activity, where it adds a few extra nucleotides to the end of the synthesized cDNA. Together with a 3’ modified oligo dT primer and a 5’ SMART universal oligo, which contains a terminal complementation to nucleic acids at the 3’ end of the first-strand cDNA, the SmartRTTM reverse transcriptase produces RACE ready full-length cDNA.

General Description:
SmartRTTM Reverse Transcriptase is an engineered MMLV RT that improves the thermostability of the enzyme, reduces RNase H activity and its cDNA synthesis ability. The enzyme also has a terminal transferase activity, where it adds a few extra nucleotides to the end of the synthesized cDNA. Together with a 3’ modified oligo dT primer and a 5’ SMART universal oligo, which contains a terminal complementation to nucleic acids at the 3’ end of the first-strand cDNA, the SmartRTTM reverse transcriptase produces RACE ready full-length cDNA.
Feature:
MCLAB’s reverse transcriptase is one of the transcriptases that has a terminal transferase activity with the highest thermostability.
Source:
expressed in E. coli
Application:
Reverse transcription and RACE ready full-length cDNA synthesis

Figure 1.Smart cDNA synthesis compared to conventional cDNA synthesis. Unlike conventional cDNA synthesis methods which involve a multiple enzyme/multiple step procedure, the Smart cDNA synthesis protocol is performed by on reverse transcription reaction, in a single tube, with no adaptor ligation or intervening purification steps. Following PCR amplification, Smart cDNA is immediately available for a variety of downstream applications.
