One-Step reagents are used to directly amplify RNA samples on your real-time PCR instrument. The reverse transcription (RT) and qPCR steps are both conducted in the same reaction well. This reduces the number of sample manipulations required and time to result, but unlike two-step strategies, all of the cDNA is used in the PCR, so a cDNA archive is not available. One-step RT-PCR is most commonly used to process many samples at a time, for one or a few targets per sample. Examples include virus detection and quantification, high-throughput gene expression screening, and simple RNA quantification experiments.
