Maxima™ Reverse Transcriptase

Maxima™ Reverse Transcriptase is an advanced enzyme derived by in vitro evolution of M-MuLV RT for RT-qPCR application. The enzyme features high thermostability, robustness and increased synthesis rates in RT-qPCR. The Maxima™ Reverse Transcriptase is capable of cDNA synthesis at elevated temperatures (50 to 60 °C) and completion of the reverse transcription reaction in 15 to 30 minutes. The use of this enzyme in combination with Maxima™ qPCR Master Mixes ensures high specificity, sensitivity and wide linear range of two step RT-qPCR. Applications include first strand cDNA synthesis, RT-PCR, and RT-qPCR.
