FAQ-1553
Will QuantiTect Primer Assays work at an annealing temperature of 60ºC with QuantiFast SYBR Green PCR and RT-PCR Kits?
Yes. QuantiTect Primer Assays are guaranteed for use with QuantiFast SYBR Green PCR and QuantiFast SYBR Green RT-PCR Kits at the specified annealing temperature of 60ºC. We have extensively tested many QuantiTect Primer Assays with success under these conditions.

QuantiFast SYBR® Green RT-PCR Kit
The QuantiFast SYBR Green RT-PCR Kit delivers fast and specific quantification of RNA targets by real-time one-step RT-PCR using SYBR Green I detection. Q-bond technology and an optimized, ready to use master mix enable shorter real-time RT-PCR run times, not only on fast cyclers with short ramping times, but also on standard cyclers. The combination of a hot start and a unique qRT-PCR buffer system ensures highly specific and sensitive real-time quantification of RNA targets. The QuantiFast SYBR Green RT-PCR Kit is also supplied with an optimized RT mix for efficient cDNA synthesis in only 10 minutes. For convenience, the master mix can be stored at 2–8°C.
IMPORTANT NOTE: As announced earlier, the production of the QuantiFast kits has been discontinued since mid-2021. Hence, these products will be available only until stocks last. Visit the product page of the successor kit to view improved features or to request a trial kit.

QuantiTect Primer Assays
QuantiTect Primer Assays are genomewide, bioinformatically validated primer sets for use in SYBR Green-based real-time RT-PCR on any cycler. Assays are available for all genes from human, rat, mouse, and many other species. Each assay for a specific gene is supplied as a lyophilized mix of forward and reverse primers that can be easily reconstituted to obtain a 10x assay solution (reaction components for real-time RT-PCR need to be ordered separately). When used in combination with QuantiFast, QuantiTect, Rotor-Gene, or FastLane Kits for SYBR Green detection, QuantiTect Primer Assays guarantee highly specific and sensitive results in real-time RT-PCR that are comparable to probe-based detection.
