What is the smallest quantity of RNA detectable by the SuperScript IV First-Strand System for RT-PCR?

Detection limits dependend on many factors, including primer design, target size, and the abundance of mRNA. The recommended template amount when working with SuperScript IV Reverse Transcriptase is 10 pg-5 µg total RNA or 10 pg-500 ng mRNA.

What size targets can be amplified by the SuperScript One-Step RT-PCR Systems?

The SuperScript III One-Step RT-PCR System with Platinum Taq DNA Polymerase is recommended for amplifying RNA targets up to 4.5 kb and the SuperScript IV UniPrime One-Step RT-PCR System is recommended for amplifying RNA targets up to 13 kb.
