The ENZD-RT18 RT-qPCR system from Creative Enzymes was evaluated using templates with varying GC content alongside a non-specific amplification setup to assess overall assay sensitivity and specificity.
ENZD-RT18 consistently delivered higher sensitivity and improved amplification efficiency across GC-variable targets compared with the reference reagent. In non-specific reactions, a single sharp peak was observed in melt curve analysis, indicating strong specificity and minimal background amplification. The system is formulated with a next-generation Taq DNA Polymerase and a dedicated warm-start reverse transcriptase, enabling precise reaction control and high-fidelity amplification. Data sourced from internal validation studies evaluating amplification sensitivity and specificity across GC-variable and non-specific systems.
The contamination control efficiency of ENZD-RT18 was assessed using fully uracil-containing and thymine-containing templates at 4 pg, 40 pg, and 400 pg input levels.
Results showed consistently high removal efficiency of carryover templates, with calculated performance exceeding 99% across all tested concentrations. This is achieved through an integrated dUTP/UDG contamination prevention system, ensuring effective elimination of uracil-based contamination while maintaining robust amplification performance.
