Simple, Sensitive, Dye-Based qPCR and RT-qPCR
The GoTaq® qPCR and RT-qPCR Systems are ready-to-use, 2X master mixes containing BRYT Green® Dye, a fluorescent DNA binding dye with minimal PCR inhibition, providing maximum amplification efficiency and greater fluorescence enhancement than SYBR® Green I.
Rapid hot-start activation and processive enzymes make the GoTaq® Systems compatible with most real-time PCR instruments using standard or fast cycling. The 1-Step and 2-Step RT-qPCR Systems also include GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase, to enable efficient synthesis of first-strand cDNA in preparation for PCR.

Sensitivity and Specificity for qPCR
The GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix is a ready-to-use 2X master mix for real-time quantitative PCR. Combining GoTaq® Hot Start Polymerase, optimized buffer and the BRYT Green® Dye, the GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix provides robust real-time PCR with earlier quantification cycle values and broad-range detection. These qualities result in increased reliability, reproducibility and sensitivity for quantitative, real-time PCR.
Designed for use with any instrument capable of reading SYBR® Green I or FAM™ Dye, the GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix offers:
- Sensitive detection for earlier quantitation of low- and high-copy targets.
- Room-temperature setup,making it suitable for automation and high-throughput detection.
- Compatibility with both fast and standard qPCR cycling methods.

qPCR with single-copy detection. The GAPDH gene was amplified and detected from 10-fold serial dilutions (0.01ng to 100ng) of human genomic DNA. Inset shows the standard curve for the various dilutions (Slope=-3.2; R2=0.995). Kit yield and purity were measured by absorbance spectroscopy.
Reverse Transcription and qPCR in One Reaction
The GoTaq® 1-Step RT-qPCR System enables detection and relative quantification of RNA expression levels using a one-step real-time RT-qPCR method, combining GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase and GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix in a single reaction well. The GoScript™ RT Mix for 1-Step RT-qPCR (50X) combines optimized quantities amounts of GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase, RNasin® Plus RNase Inhibitor and additives to enhance single-step reactions.
Other features provided by the 1-Step System include:
- Sensitive detection for earlier quantitation of low- and high-copy-number targets over a broad dynamic range. Detects down to femtogram (fg) amounts of input RNA.
- Exceptional room-temperature setup, allowing easy automation and high-throughput detection.

Linear dynamic range from 100ng down to 10fg of human RNA template. Seven 10-fold dilutions of human total RNA was run using 200nM of each GAPDH transcript specific primer. The amplification curve shows 97% efficiency and an r2=0.999.
Two-Step Reverse Transcription and qPCR
The GoTaq® 2-Step RT-qPCR System facilitates detection and relative quantification of RNA expression levels via a two-step RT-qPCR method using GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System and GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix.
The GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix is provided as a ready-to-use, stabilized 2X formulation and contains GoTaq® Hot Start Polymerase, MgCl2, dNTPs, BRYT Green® Dye and a proprietary reaction buffer. This master mix contains a low level of carboxy-X-rhodamine (CXR); a separate tube of CXR reference dye is included.
The GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System includes an optimized reaction buffer and M-MLV reverse transcriptase designed to enable efficient synthesis of first-strand cDNA in preparation for PCR amplification. The cDNA product can be added directly to downstream qPCR amplification reactions.
