The CellsDirect™ One-Step qRT-PCR Kit delivers highly sensitive and specific real-time qPCR results directly from cells, without the need for an RNA purification step.

Features of the CellsDirect™ One-Step qRT-PCR Kit include:
Efficiency—offers significant time and cost savings for increased throughput
Convenience—enzyme mix includes both SuperScript™ III Reverse Transcriptase and Platinum™ Taq DNA Polymerase
Sensitivity—no separate RNA isolation step increases sensitivity by minimizing sample loss
Broad detection range—detect targets from samples ranging from a single cell to 10,000 cells
Versatility—compatible with a wide variety of cell lines and samples collected by Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM)

Streamline your workflow
In traditional real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR), you first isolate RNA from cells in a time-consuming procedure that can lead to loss of material. Using the CellsDirect™ One-Step qRT-PCR Kit, you lyse the cells and add the complete lysate directly to a one-step qRT-PCR reaction with minimal handling and sample loss.

Ideal for your qRT-PCR application
CellsDirect™ technology is validated for gene expression studies involving limited samples. CellsDirect™ One-Step qRT-PCR Kits are especially valuable for high-throughput applications by eliminating costly, time-consuming RNA purification steps (see figure). The CellsDirect™ One-Step qRT-PCR Kit may also be used to detect genomic DNA targets.

CellsDirect™ One-Step qRT-PCR Kits may be used in conjunction with hydrolysis probes (e.g., TaqMan™ or LUX™ fluorogenic primers).

Note: This kit includes a separate tube of ROX™ Reference Dye. An equivalent kit (11754-500) with ROX™ Reference Dye included in the 2X Reaction Mix is also available.

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

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What can I do to improve the sensitivity of my qPCR assay?

If you are targeting a low-abundance gene, you may have trouble getting Ct values in a good, reliable range (Ct > 32). To increase the sensitivity of the assay, you may want to consider the following:

- Increase the amount of RNA input into your reverse transcription reaction, if possible
- Increase the amount of cDNA in your qPCR reaction (20% by volume max)
- Try a different reverse transcription kit, such as our SuperScript VILO Master Mix, for the highest cDNA yield possible
- Consider trying a one-step or Cells-to-CT type workflow (depending on your sample type)

How do I set the baseline for my qPCR experiment?

Most times your instrument software can automatically set a proper baseline for your data. Check out our short video, Understanding Baselines, for more information on how to set them (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5BjFAJHW-bE).

How do I set the threshold for my qPCR experiment?

In most cases your instrument software can automatically set a proper threshold for your data. Check out our short video, Understanding Thresholds, for more information on how to set them (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=H_xsuRQIM9M).

I am not getting any amplification with my TaqMan Assay or SYBR Green primer set. What is causing this?

There could be several reasons for no amplification from an assay or primer set. Please see these examples and suggested solutions in our Real-Time Troubleshooting Tool (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/pcr/real-time-pcr/qpcr-education/real-time-pcr-troubleshooting-tool/gene-expression-quantitation-troubleshooting/no-amplification.html) for more details.

I am getting amplification in my no-template control (NTC) wells in my qPCR experiment. What is causing this?

There could be several reasons for amplification in a NTC well. Please see these examples and suggested solutions in our Real-Time Troubleshooting Tool (https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/pcr/real-time-pcr/qpcr-education/real-time-pcr-troubleshooting-tool/gene-expression-quantitation-troubleshooting/amplification-no-template-control.html) for more details.
