2 个常见问题解答

I want to perform qRT-PCR using cDNA that I synthesize directly from cells. Can I use the SuperScript III CellsDirect cDNA Kit for end-point PCR and the Platinum Quantitative PCR SuperMix-UDG kit?

We would recommend using our Cells-to-CT kits for best qRT-PCR results. The CellsDirect kits for end-point PCR have not been optimized for qRT-PCR.

Why is UDG important in the Platinum Quantitative PCR SuperMix-UDG mix?

UDG and dUTP are included to prevent the reamplification of carryover PCR products between reactions. dUTP ensures that any amplified DNA will contain uracil, while UDG removes uracil residues from single- or double-stranded DNA, preventing dU-containing DNA from serving as template in future PCRs.
