[ 1 ] Introduction
Description
ReverTra AceTM qPCR RT Master Mix with gDNA remover is an efficient and convenient
kit, consisting of master mix reagents, to synthesize high quality cDNAs for real-time PCR.
The kit includes reagents for reverse transcription and for the removal of genomic DNA
[DNase I treatment].
In many cases, total RNA prepared using spin-columns or acid guanidium-phenol-
chloroform (AGPC) extraction methods contains small amount of genomic DNA. Any
contaminating genomic DNA will be amplified along with cDNA, especially when primer
pairs are designed within the same exon or from pseudogenes. Amplification from genomic
DNA can result in qualitative and quantitative inaccuracies.
The protocol consists of i) a genomic DNA degradation step using “gDNA remover” and
ii) a reverse transcription step. The two steps can be achieved sequentially without
purification or heat inactivation of DNase I.
ReverTra AceTM is a mutant M-MLV reverse transcriptase that shows excellent efficiency.
Features
-“Genomic DNA degradation step” and “cDNA synthesis step” can be achieved
sequentially in approximately 30 min.
-The master mix reagents will not freeze at -20°C.
- Control, no reverse transcription experiments (no RT-Control) can be performed with
5x RT Master Mix II no-RT control.
-The master mix reagent contains random and oligo dT primers optimized for efficient
reverse transcription.
-The reverse transcription reaction can be completed in 15 min. The protocol does not
contain an additional RNase H treatment step to remove residual RNA after reverse
transcription (Patent Pending).
-Since the RT buffer is optimized for real-time PCR, the addition of 20% (v/v) of the
synthesized cDNA solution to the PCR solution does not inhibit the PCR reaction.
Therefore, this kit is suitable for the detection of low abundance mRNAs.
[ 2 ] Components
The kit includes the following reagents, which can be used for 200 (FSQ-301) and 40
(FSQ-301S) 10 µl reactions. All reagents should be stored at -20°C. For extended storage,
-30°C is recommended.

4x RT Master Mix 440 μL 88 μL
5x RT Master Mix II 400 μL 80 μL
5x RT Maser Mix II no RT-Control 40 μL 8 μL
Nuclease-free water 1000μL x 2 400 μL
gDNA remover
“gDNA remover” is an optimized DNase I solution. 4x DN Master Mix and gDNA remover
should be mixed at a ratio of 50 : 1.
JAPAN CHINA
Tel(81)-6-6348-3888 Tel (+86)-21-58794900

“4x DN Master Mix” is a buffer solution that contains RNase inhibitor. Prior to use, a 1 in
50 volume of gDNA remover should be added to 4x DN Master Mix (e.g. 4x DN Master
Mix : gDNA remover = 440 μL : 8.8 μL or 4x DN Master Mix : gDNA remover = 88 μL :
1.8 μL).
Notes
4x DN Master Mix with gDNA remover can be stored at -20°C for at least 3 months. The mixture
can be prepared in a smaller volume [e.g. 4x DN Master Mix: gDNA remover = 220 µl : 4.4 μL].
5× RT Maser Mix II
This reagent is a 5x master mix that contains highly efficient reverse transcriptase
“ReverTra AceTM”, RNase inhibitor, oligo dT primer, random primer and dNTPs.
Notes
Be aware that “5x RT Master Mix II” and “5x RT Master Mix” in ReverTra AceTM qPCR RT
Master Mix (Code No. FSQ-201)” are not compatible.
5× RT Maser Mix II no-RT Control

The composition of “5x RT Master Mix II no-RT Control” is identical to that of “5x RT
Master Mix II” except that reverse transcriptase (RT) is omitted. This master mix can be
used in a control experiment due to the absence of reverse transcriptase.
Nuclease-free water
This nuclease-free water has been prepared without DEPC treatment.

1. Template RNA for reverse transcription
The following RNAs are appropriate for highly efficient reverse transcription.
(1)Total RNA
Total RNA usually contains 1-2% mRNA. Total RNA can be used directly as template
with this kit.
(2)Poly(A)+ RNA (mRNA)

Poly(A)+ RNA is useful to detect low abundance mRNAs. However, poly(A)+ RNA
should be treated carefully because it is more sensitive to RNase than total RNA.
2. Reverse transcription
(1) Preparation of the “4x DN Master Mix” and “gDNA Remover” mixture.
Prior to use, a 1 in 50 volume of gDNA remover should be added to 4x DN Master Mix
(e.g. 4x DN Master Mix : gDNA remover = 440 μL : 8.8 μL or 4x DN Master Mix :
gDNA remover = 88 μL : 1.8 μL).
Notes
4x DN Master Mix with gDNA remover can be stored at -20°C for at least for 3 months. The
mixture can be prepared in a smaller volume [e.g. 4x DN Master Mix : gDNA remover = 220 μL :
4.4 μL].
(2) Denaturation of RNA [optional]

Incubate the RNA solution at 65°C for 5 min, and then keep on ice.
Notes
- This step increases the efficiency of reverse transcription of RNA templates that form
secondary structures.
-This step should be performed before adding 4x DN Master Mix.
(3) Preparation of the DNase I reaction solution:
Prepare the following reagents on ice.
4x DN Master Mix 2 μL
RNA template 0.5 pg – 0.5µg
Nuclease-free Water X μL
Total Volume 8 μL
(4) Incubate at 37°C for 5 min.

(5) Preparation of the for reverse transcription solution;
Prepare the following reagents on ice.
Reacted solution from (4) 8 μL

5x RT Master Mix II 2 μL
Total Volume 10 μL
Notes
-The master mix reagent contains oligo dT and random primers. Do not use with specific
primers.
-For control experiments, “5x RT Master Mix II no RT-Control” should be used instead
of 5x RT Master Mix II. A control experiment without reverse transcription is useful to
prove whether amplicons originate from cDNA and/or genomic DNA.
-This kit contains nuclease-free water for 200 reverse transcription reactions. The kit
does not contain sufficient nuclease-free water for the dilution of RNA samples.
Nuclease-free water prepared without DEPC-treatment is recommended for the dilution
of RNA samples.
-The reaction volume can be increased according to need.
(6) Incubate at 37°C for 15 min.
(7) Incubate at 50°C for 5 min. [optional]
(8) Heat at 98°C for 5 min.
(9) Store the reacted solution* at 4°C or – 20°C
*This solution can be used directly or after dilution for real-time PCR.
Notes
-“ReverTra AceTM” excels at high reaction temperatures (up to 50°C). This step may
increase the efficiency of the reverse transcription.
-Up to 20% of the synthesized cDNA solution can be added to the PCR reaction solution.

Degradation of RNA Prepare fresh RNA sample. Diluted RNA templates have
a tendency to degrade and to adsorb on the vessel walls.
RNA template for the reaction should be prepared from a
highly concentrated stock prior to use.
Excess or small amount of The recommended RNA concentration range for reverse
RNA transcription is from 1 pg to 1 µg in a 10μL reaction.
However, the optimal concentration of RNA template
should be determined for each case.
Secondary structure of RNA The efficiency of reverse transcription of RNAs that
template form secondary structures tends to be low. Incubation at
65°C for 5 min. and quenching prior to the reaction is
usually effective on such templates. Also, the additional
step of 50°C for 5 min. after the reaction at 37°C for 15
min. might be effective for such difficult templates.
