Hifair™ AdvanceFast 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis SuperMix for qPCR (gDNA digester plus) is an upgraded version of Hifair™ Ⅲ 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis SuperMix for qPCR (gDNA digester plus). Compared to the previous generation Hifair™ Ⅲ Reverse Transcriptase, this product exhibits enhanced tolerance to inhibitors, faster reverse transcription speed, and higher cDNA yield, making it suitable for reverse transcription reactions of RNA from animals, plants, and microorganisms. The gDNA Digester Mix -V2 included in this product has been significantly improved in its ability to remove residual DNA, effectively digesting up to 1000 ng of DNA, ensuring more reliable results by eliminating DNA contamination in RNA templates.

Hifair™ AdvanceFast SuperMix contains all components required for reverse transcription. Simply add RNA template and RNase-free H2O to initiate the reaction, while simultaneously terminating the activity of gDNA Digester to ensure cDNA integrity.

The reverse transcription products are suitable for dye-based and probe-based qPCR. However, they are not recommended for long-fragment amplification such as gene cloning. For such applications, Hifair™ AdvanceFast 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Cat#11150ES) is recommended for high-efficiency reverse transcription.

Figures

1. Workflow: Fast &Simple

Figure 1. Workflow Comparison: 11155ES completes reverse transcription in just 5 minutes (total time ~7 minutes), significantly faster than common reagents (~17 minutes).

2. High-Efficiency Synthesis – Superior cDNA Yield Across Diverse Targets and Species

Figure 2. Reverse Transcription Efficiency Comparison

Using RNA from various sources, cDNA synthesis was carried out with different reverse transcription reagents following their respective protocols. Dye-based qPCR analysis demonstrated that 11155ES consistently produces higher cDNA yields and lower Ct values than other reagents, as reflected by the ∆Ct values.

3. High Sensitivity – Detects as Low as 10 pg of RNA

Figure 3. Reverse Transcription Sensitivity Comparison

RNA from human 293T cells and Arabidopsis thaliana was serially diluted to different input amounts. cDNA synthesis was performed using various reverse transcription reagents according to protocols, followed by qPCR with Yeasen dye-based qPCR reagents. The ∆Ct [Ct (other reagents) – Ct (11155ES)] values indicate that, compared to other reverse transcription reagents, 11155ES consistently delivers better performance across a range of RNA inputs.

4. Enhanced gDNA Removal – More Effective Residual DNA Digestion

Figure 4. gDNA Digestion/Removal Capability Comparison

Genomic DNA (1000 ng) from human 293T cells was used as the template. Various reverse transcription reagents were tested following their respective protocols, with parallel groups set up without gDNA digestion. Reverse transcription was then performed, followed by qPCR using Yeasen 11185ES. The results indicate that the reagent effectively digests and removes residual gDNA.

5. Strong stability

Figure 5. Stability Test

(A) Performance after repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Reverse transcription was performed using reverse transcription reagents subjected to 0, 10, 20, or 30 freeze-thaw cycles, followed by dye-based qPCR. The resulting Cт values of samples subjected to 10–30 freeze-thaw cycles showed minimal variation compared to the control (0 cycles), with differences no greater than 0.5 Cт.

(B) Stability under different storage conditions. The stability of synthesized cDNA was evaluated after storage under various conditions. cDNA generated with product 11155ES was stored for 1 to 7 days at –80 °C, –20 °C, 4 °C, 25 °C, and 37 °C, respectively, prior to qPCR using Yeasen dye-based qPCR master mix. The data indicate that Cт values obtained from samples stored under non–80 °C conditions were highly consistent with those stored at –80 °C, differing by no more than 0.5 Cт.
