More Information
IsoFast™ Bst 1-Step Mix is designed for reverse transcription of target RNA and subsequent isothermal amplification in a single tube.
Dual enzyme system
The kit utilises IsoFast™ Bst Polymerase for its strong strand displacement activity, enabling DNA synthesis at a constant temperature (65˚C) without the need for thermal cycling. Representing the large fragment of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formerly Bacillus stearothermophilus) DNA Polymerase, this portion of the protein catalyses the 5’-3’ synthesis of DNA but does not contain the 5’-3’ exonuclease domain.1 The enzyme is provided in a convenient 2x mix format.
Reverse transcription of target RNA is carried out by the thermostable and extremely active RTase Go, which is blended with RNase inhibitor to prevent degradation of RNA by contaminating RNase.
