Probe-based reverse transcription is a widely used technique for RNA detection and quantification that involves converting RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) and then using fluorescent probes to measure the amount of cDNA produced in a PCR reaction.
Fortis’ One-Step RT-qULTRA PCR Master Mix is formulated for sensitive RNA detection and quantification by probe-based reverse transcription. It contains optimized components that enable cDNA synthesis and PCR amplification to be performed and quantified in a single tube.
