5X First Strand Buffer is a concentrated reaction buffer for first-strand cDNA synthesis in reverse transcription workflows. It provides buffering capacity, ionic strength, divalent cations, and a reducing environment to support primer annealing and reverse transcriptase activity when diluted to 1X in the final reaction mix.

This buffer is suitable for use with oligo(dT), random, or gene-specific primers alongside dNTPs, RNase inhibitor, and reverse transcriptase. Store according to standard enzyme buffer handling practices to maintain stability and consistency across reverse transcription experiments.

  • 250mM Tris-HCl
  • 375mM Potassium Chloride
  • 15mM Magnesium Chloride
  • 50mM Dithiothreitol (DTT)
  • First-Strand cDNA Synthesis: Converts RNA templates into cDNA using reverse transcriptase for downstream analyses.

  • RT-PCR: Generates cDNA for endpoint RT-PCR amplification of RNA targets.

  • qRT-PCR: Enables quantitative gene expression analysis by producing high-quality cDNA for real-time PCR.

  • RNA-Seq Library Preparation: Supports first-strand cDNA synthesis during transcriptome library construction.

  • cDNA Library Construction and Cloning: Produces stable first-strand cDNA for cloning and sequencing workflows.

  • 5' and 3' RACE: Facilitates rapid amplification of cDNA ends to map transcript boundaries.

  • Primer Extension Assays: Provides conditions for reverse transcriptase-based mapping of transcription start sites.

  • miRNA/lncRNA Analysis: Supports reverse transcription of small and long non-coding RNAs for downstream detection.

  • One-Step RT-PCR Workflows: Functions as the RT component buffer in combined reverse transcription and PCR protocols.

  • Viral RNA Detection: Used to synthesize cDNA from RNA viruses for diagnostic amplification assays.
