One-Step qPCR kit
Optimized RT-qPCR reagents
Takyon® Ultra is an optimized RT-qPCR kit for RNA detection and gene expression analysis.
It contains a unique reverse transcription qPCR MasterMix with increased multiplex capabilities.
This RT-qPCR kit has been optimized for the sensitive and specific detection of RNA templates such as that from SARS-CoV-2, influenza and RSV. The kit has been also validated on DNA targets.

Advantages of our RT-qPCR Mix
Our Probe based One-Step Takyon® Ultra RT qPCR MasterMix with a broad dynamic range
enables specific, reproducible and highly sensitive detection of RNA and DNA.
Combined with the improved Euroscript II Plus, your high throughput automated assays
can be conveniently assembled at room temperature.
Universal
Takyon® Ultra is compatible with all qPCR instruments. The MasterMix can be easily adjusted to the appropriate ROX™ level in a single initial pipetting step using the included ROX vial.
Optimized
Our MasterMix formulation has been optimized to ensure more specific results even in low target copy context and clean Non template Controls (NTC).
Our new reagent enables increased multiplexing capabilities allowing for co-detection in clinical samples of various targets.
Robust
The 4x MasterMix is perfectly suited for robotic platforms. The reagents are stable at 20°C for up to 24h allowing for convenient automated high-throughput assay set-up.
Specific and brilliant

The One-Step Takyon® Ultra Probe 4X MasterMix (yellow) shows increased sensitivity compared to Competitor T (dark blue) and Competitor B (light blue) reagents, and increased specificity compared to competitor T, under their recommended fast cycling conditions.
Sensitive and efficient

One-Step Takyon® Ultra Probe 4X MasterMix (yellow) shows a better linear dynamic range than competitor T (dark blue) and better signal than competitor B (light blue) reagents. The amplifications were performed in presence of Yeast T-RNA , under the recommended fast cycling conditions. (NTC: dotted lines)
Stable

The One-Step Takyon® Ultra Probe 4X MasterMix maintains consistent amplification results after 24h at -20°C (dark blue, recommended storage conditions), 4°C (light blue) or 20°C (yellow) under fast cycling conditions. (NTC: dotted lines)
Quantitative RT-PCR protocol
The One-Step Takyon® Ultra Probe 4X MasterMix produces consistent and sensitive results under Fast cycling conditions.
For increased convenience, a working blend of MasterMix and Euroscript II RT Plus can be prepared and stored at -20°C for up to one month.
This one-tube solution is also stable at 20°C for up to 24h allowing for time-consuming high-throughtput assay set-up.
