Why Choose Challenger Hotstart RT-qPCR Mix?
- Room-temperature setup – Easy pipetting without cooling, saving time and reducing errors.
- warm-start reverse transcriptase – Prevents nonspecific amplification and allows primer/probe premixing.
- Superior contamination control – UDG/dUTP system eliminates carryover contamination for reliable qPCR results.
- Fast RT-qPCR protocols – Complete assays in just 30 minutes with a 5-minute reverse transcription step.
- High sensitivity RT-qPCR – Detect as few as 1–10 RNA copies.
- Flexible applications – Single and multiplex RT-qPCR for viral detection, gene expression, and diagnostics.
Optimized for High-Performance qPCR Workflows
The 4× concentrated formulation allows high-throughput and multiplexing while keeping reaction efficiency high. The combination of warm-start RTase and antibody-modified Taq DNA polymerase and a RNAse inhibitor ensures precise control, so your reactions only start when you are ready.
Contamination-Free One-Step RT-qPCR
Built-in dUTP/UDG safeguards protect your assays from false positives due to carryover contamination. This, in combination with an RNase inhibitor is essential for labs running high-sensitivity viral RNA detection and diagnostic assay developments.
Fast RT-qPCR Protocols Without Sacrificing Accuracy
With Challenger, you can speed up detection while keeping sensitivity intact:
- Standard program: 55 °C for 15 min RT, ~1 hr total
- Fast program: 55 °C for 5 min RT, ~30 min total
Benchmark studies with HBV/HCV RNA samples confirmed superior stability and consistent Ct values compared to competitor brands.
Long-Term Stability You Can Trust
Unlike conventional RT-qPCR mixes, the Challenger Hotstart RT-qPCR Master Mix is engineered for long shelf life. Even under accelerated testing at 37 °C for 10 days, the mix maintained stable multiplex detection - ensuring reliable performance during storage and shipping.
Example Applications
- Viral RNA detection: HBV, HCV, Influenza, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, hMPV, PIV1, and more
- Gene expression analysis: accurate detection of high- and low-copy RNA targets
- Clinical research & diagnostics: robust, reproducible data
- High-throughput testing: multiplex RT-qPCR panels for respiratory, gastrointestinal, and hepatitis viruses
- Many more…
