Invitrogen™ MultiScribe™ Reverse Transcriptase
Description
Includes
MultiScribe™ Reverse Transcriptase (100μL at 50U/μL).
MultiScribe Reverse Transcriptase is a recombinant moloney murine leukemia virus (rMoMuLV) reverse transcriptase optimized for TaqMan-based assays. MultiScribe Reverse Transcriptase is similar to MuLV reverse transcriptase but differs in its recommended usage. This recombinant RNA–dependent, DNA polymerase uses single-stranded RNA as a template in the presence of a primer to synthesize a complementary DNA (cDNA) strand.
Features of MultiScribe Reverse Transcriptase include:
- Compatible with one-step and two-step RT-PCR reactions, which provides flexibility in assay setup
- Individual component design provides versatility in assay setup
- 5,000 U is supplied in 100 μL vials (50 U/μL)
- Reaction temperature up to 52°C
- PCR
- RT-PCR
- Reverse Transcription

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
While the volume is dependent on the starting amount of RNA used for the first-strand synthesis and the abundance of the target gene, we'd recommend starting with 10% of the first-strand reaction for your PCR reaction.
Yes, the MultiScribe Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. 4311235) can be purchased as a standalone product. Please see the following link.
Yes, MultiScribe Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. 4311235) does have RNase H activity.
MultiScribe Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. 4311235) and MuLV Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. N808-0018) are the same enzyme, a recombinant Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (MuLV) Reverse Transcriptase. The only difference is in the recommended usage for each enzyme. MultiScribe Reverse Transcriptase is recommended for use with quantitative nuclease assays, and MuLV is recommended for use in traditional RT-PCR assays.
