Invitrogen™ SuperScript™ V Reverse Transcriptase (RT) is a next-generation MMLV reverse transcriptase designed for fast, reliable first-strand cDNA synthesis. Building on the advanced performance of the SuperScript™ IV reverse transcriptase, SuperScript V RT combines high sensitivity, thermostability, and processivity with improved resistance to oxidation and greater workflow flexibility.

SuperScript V RT supports reliable cDNA synthesis from low-input RNA as well as highly structured, GC-rich, degraded, and inhibitor-containing samples.

Features of SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase include:

  • Broad RNA input range—supports cDNA synthesis from 100 fg to 5 μg of RNA
  • Robust performance with challenging RNA—reaction temperatures up to 65°C help transcribe highly structured and GC-rich RNA
  • Fast cDNA synthesis—complete first-strand cDNA synthesis in as little as 1–10 minutes
  • Improved resistance to oxidation— enhanced reagent stability supports ambient shipping and room-temperature storage for up to 6 months
  • Flexible workflow—room-temperature reaction setup and stability of assembled reactions for up to 24 hours

SuperScript V RT is well suited for RT-PCR, RT-qPCR, gene expression analysis, and other applications requiring high-quality first-strand cDNA synthesis. Its enhanced reagent and assembled-reaction stability provides additional flexibility for routine, high-throughput, and automated workflows.

A DTT-free, animal origin–free formulation combined with reduced cold chain requirements further simplifies reagent handling and supports more sustainable workflows.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What are the main differences between Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase and Invitrogen SuperScript V VILO Master Mix?

Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase is supplied as a stand-alone enzyme with reaction buffer and supports flexible reaction optimization. Invitrogen SuperScript V VILO Master Mix combines all required reaction components into a single formulation to simplify workflow setup and reduce pipetting steps.

Can Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase products support automated workflows?

Yes. Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase products include features such as room-temperature reaction setup, benchtop stability of assembled reactions, and simplified workflow options that can support automated and high-throughput workflows.

Can Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase products support low-input RNA workflows?

Yes. Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase products are designed to support reverse transcription from low-input RNA samples, including inputs as low as 0.1 pg of total RNA.

Which Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase product should I choose for RT-qPCR workflows?

For two-step RT-qPCR workflows, Invitrogen SuperScript V VILO Master Mix reagent (Cat. No. 11800001) provides an all-in-one formulation that simplifies reaction setup. Users who prefer custom primer selection may choose Invitrogen SuperScript V VILO Master Mix, Primer-Free (Cat. No. 11900001) or Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase (Cat. No. 19090050).

Can reaction volumes be scaled when using Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase products?

Yes. Reaction volumes may be scaled up to 100 µL when using Invitrogen SuperScript V Reverse Transcriptase products provided that reagent ratios are maintained and workflow performance is verified.
