High Scriptools-Quantimix Easy Probes Kit is a novel real-time RT-PCR system for the quantification of RNA targets in an easy-to-handle format. The kit has been designed to use with hydrolysis probes (e.g. TaqMan probes). The high specificity and sensitivity of this kit is achieved by the use of a High SQP Retrotrascriptase and 3B HotSplit DNA Polymerase, together with a specialized buffer.

The kit has been designed to deliver maximum efficiency, precision and sensitivity of quantitative RT-PCR. For these purpose two high-performance enzymes, a thermostable reverse transcriptase and a DNA polymerase with hot start activity, carry out reactions. Both cDNA synthesis and PCR are performed sequentially in a single tube due to a single buffer system formulated to ensure specific primer annealing.

High Scriptools-Quantimix Easy Probes Kit provides a convenient and fast procedure, one step only, for synthesizing cDNA and DNA amplification in real time. All reagents necessary for both reactions are added in one tube at the same time which confers an easy-to-handle format saving manipulation time and reducing contamination risks without compromising the efficiency or sensitivity of the kit. To use it simply add to a vial containing the prepared Master Mix, the desired primers; probes; and RNA template.

The kit has been optimized with RNA from different origins including RNA virus (e.g. RNA from HCV; HIV; and H1N1 virus, among others).
