OneScript® Hot 5X RT MasterMix is a convenient, ready-to-use formulation designed for efficient and reliable first-strand cDNA synthesis. This optimized mix simplifies the workflow while ensuring exceptional reproducibility and performance. It contains abm’s proprietary OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase, RNaseOFF Ribonuclease Inhibitor, dNTPs, and a precisely balanced combination of Oligo(dT)s and Random Primers. The OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase features genetic modifications that abolish RNase H activity to achieve thermal stability, allowing the RNA template to remain intact during reverse transcription for improved cDNA yield and integrity. The resulting high-quality cDNA is ideal for a wide range of downstream molecular biology applications.
Product Features:
- Easy one-step setup reduces pipetting and sample handling
- High cDNA yields from difficult samples with OneScript® Hot Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. G593)
- Inhibits ribonuclease contaminants with RNaseOFF Ribonuclease Inhibitor (Cat. No. G591)
- Also includes dNTPs, Oligo (dT)s, and random primers
- Included in abm's PCR Buffet Program

Yes, both total RNA and poly(A)+ mRNA can be used, though poly(A)+ mRNA typically yields higher quantities and better purity.
Yes, for longer RNA transcripts, extend the 60°C incubation time to up to 30 minutes.
The high-quality cDNA can be used in a variety of downstream applications, including gene expression analysis, cloning, and PCR-based assays. BlasTaq™ 2X qPCR Master Mix (Cat. No. G891) is well suited to downstream qPCR applications.
Store the synthesized first-strand cDNA at -20°C for long-term use.
Low cDNA yields can be caused by poor RNA integrity, contamination, or insufficient RNA input. To improve yield: Check RNA integrity with gel electrophoresis or a BioAnalyzer, aiming for a minimum A260/A280 ratio of 1.7 or a RIN above 8. Clean the RNA using ethanol precipitation or lithium chloride to remove contaminants. Purify the RNA with extraction kits or phenol/chloroform to remove proteins. Increase RNA input, especially for low-abundance samples.
We recommend using 1 ng to 2 μg of RNA per reaction.
Typically, use 1 μl of cDNA in a 25 μl PCR reaction. You can add up to 20% of the PCR volume (e.g., 5 μl in a 25 μl PCR), depending on your target and primers.
If input RNA samples are expected to have high levels of genomic DNA contamination, we recommend using abm’s All-In-One 5X RT MasterMix with gDNA Removal (Cat. No. G592).
