The SuperScript™ Double-Stranded cDNA Synthesis Kit contains all of the reagents (except an oligo (dT)-containing primer) necessary to make high-quality, double-stranded cDNA from total RNA or poly A+-selected RNA (mRNA). The advanced capabilities of SuperScript™ II Reverse Transcriptase, with its reduced RNase H activity, maximize the yield of full-length cDNA, as well as that of overall cDNA synthesis. Features of the SuperScript™

Double-Stranded cDNA Synthesis Kit include:

Reliability—each buffer, reagent, and enzyme in the kit is of the same high quality you expect from us
Performance—SuperScript™ II is an enzyme you can trust for high-yield, high-quality, general-purpose, first-strand synthesis.

Simple, reliable, and trouble-free
The SuperScript™ Double-Stranded cDNA Synthesis Kit offers a simple, reliable, and trouble-free method by which RNA templates can be converted to cDNA for use in cloning and library construction experiments. The reactions described in the SuperScript™ Double-Stranded cDNA Synthesis Kit protocol are designed to convert 25–50 μg total RNA, or 0.2–5 μg mRNA, into first- and second-strand cDNA (supply your own primer). Enjoy the benefits of a tested protocol and reagents of consistent quality. To get the best possible cDNA product using this kit, we recommend the use of a high-quality RNA substrate prepared using TRIzol™ RNA Isolation Reagents.

Contents & Storage
Contents: The kit includes reagents and buffers for 10 first- and second-strand cDNA synthesis reactions converting 25-50 μg total RNA or 0.2-5 μg mRNA into double-stranded cDNA.

Storage: Store at -20°C. All components are guaranteed stable for 6 months when properly stored.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How long can I store the cDNA from my reverse transcription step?

You can store your cDNA at 2-6 degrees C for up to 24 hours. For long-term storage, store the cDNA at -15 to -25 degrees C and add EDTA to a final concentration of 1 mM to prevent degradation.

I'd like to generate double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) from mRNA. Do you have a kit for this?

1.SuperScript Plasmid System for cDNA Synthesis and Cloning
-Generating and cloning cDNA into a CMV-containing Gateway-compatible vector (pCMVSport6) for mammalian screening
-mRNA required as starting material (must have poly(A) tail)
-Can probe screen in E.coli but not expression screen
-Resulting dsDNA is unidirectional with Sal I / Not I sites

2.SuperScript Choice System for cDNA Synthesis
-Will work on any RNA source
-Can use random, oligo(dT), or combination
-Will result in cDNA with EcoRI ends which can be cloned into any vector (plasmid or phage) that has EcoRI sites
-Good for generation of cDNA libraries
-Resulting dsDNA will clone bidirectionally

3.SuperScript Double-Stranded cDNA Synthesis Kit
-For generating blunt-ended, double-stranded cDNA
-Will work for total RNA or mRNA as starting material
