Announcing <strong>SuperScript</strong> TM<br />
Reverse Transcriptase<br />
How could we possibly improve on <strong>SuperScript</strong> II Reverse Transcriptase?<br />
After all, more researchers all over the world depend on <strong>SuperScript</strong> than any<br />
other Reverse Transcriptase. Well, we did it. Higher thermostability. Longer half-<br />
life. The one Reverse Transcriptase you trust is now even more reliable. Get<br />
full-length <strong>cDNA</strong> and higher sensitivity. Perform <strong>RT</strong> at higher temperatures and<br />
get even higher <strong>yields</strong>. Whether you’re cloning, analyzing a single gene, or monitoring expression of<br />
every gene, <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> will move your research forward even faster.<br />
<strong>SuperScript</strong> TM<br />
<strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> reverse transcriptase (<strong>RT</strong>) 138 , a point -<br />
mutant of <strong>SuperScript</strong> II <strong>RT</strong>5 , provides increased thermal<br />
stability and higher <strong>yields</strong>. Like M-MLV <strong>RT</strong>, it’s a DNA<br />
polymerase that synthesizes a complementary DNA strand<br />
from single-stranded DNA, RNA, or an RNA:DNA hybrid.<br />
And like <strong>SuperScript</strong> II <strong>RT</strong>, it’s engineered to be RNase H- ,<br />

delivering high <strong>yields</strong> and full-length <strong>cDNA</strong>. Compared to<br />
all other <strong>RT</strong>s, <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> has full activity at 50˚C and<br />
an incredibly long half-life of 220 minutes. You’ll get even<br />
higher <strong>cDNA</strong> <strong>yields</strong> and you can work at higher<br />
temperatures for superior performance in all your <strong>RT</strong><br />
experiments (Table 1).<br />

Increased half-life for higher <strong>yields</strong><br />
The longer half-life of <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> gives you<br />
greater <strong>cDNA</strong> <strong>yields</strong>. At its optimal temperature of<br />
50˚C, <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> has a half-life of 220<br />
minutes—that’s 35 times longer than <strong>SuperScript</strong> II<br />

<strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> generates more <strong>cDNA</strong> than any<br />
other <strong>RT</strong>. This includes <strong>cDNA</strong> from total RNA or a<br />
specific gene. To demonstrate, we compared <strong>cDNA</strong><br />
yield from various <strong>RT</strong>s (Figure 2). The results speak<br />

Active at higher temperatures<br />
<strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> is active in a wide temperature range,<br />
making it more useful than any other <strong>RT</strong> you could select<br />
(Figure 3A & 3B). It’s fully active at 50˚C but can be used<br />
4<br />
from 45-55˚C (Figure 4). Incubation at higher temperature<br />
is important when using gene-specific primers (Figure 5)<br />
or tackling RNA <strong>with</strong> secondary structure (Figure 6).<br />

Easily optimize reaction conditions<br />
You can optimize <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> for specific<br />
applications to ensure the best results. We provide<br />
Table 2 – <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> specifications<br />
<strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> at 200 U/µl to allow flexibility in<br />
experimental design (Table 2).<br />
Units To increase <strong>yields</strong>, use 2 µl, or 400 U. Increasing units does not inhibit subsequent<br />
PCR as <strong>with</strong> other RNase H minus <strong>RT</strong>s. Use 400 U when synthesizing long targets (≥5 kb) at high<br />
temperature (≥ 55˚C).<br />
<strong>cDNA</strong> Volume 1-10 µl of <strong>cDNA</strong> reaction can be used in 50 µl PCR reaction.<br />
Temperature Even though <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> is fully active at 50˚C, you can obtain good results at 45˚C. You<br />
should increase the temperature to 55˚C when using a gene-specific primer or working <strong>with</strong> highly<br />
structured RNA.<br />
Buffer <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> uses the same 5X first-strand buffer as <strong>SuperScript</strong> II <strong>RT</strong>,<br />
making it easy to switch. Buffer formulation: [250 mM Tris-HCI (pH 8.3), 375 mM KCI,15 mM MgCI2] Storage As a single polypeptide, <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> is very stable. It is shipped on dry ice to ensure full activity<br />
upon arrival. While <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> is stable at –80˚C and can be kept at 4°C overnight <strong>with</strong>out<br />
activity loss, we recommend storage at –20˚C.<br />
Stringent quality control to ensure your results<br />
Each lot of <strong>SuperScript</strong> <strong>III</strong> <strong>RT</strong> is stringently quality<br />
controlled. Tests include SDS-PAGE to analyze<br />
purity; contamination assays to confirm absence<br />
of endodeoxyribonuclease, 3´ and 5´<br />
