Hifair™ AdvanceFast 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis SuperMix for qPCR (gDNA digester plus)What matters when choosing
SuperScript IV VILO is a cDNA synthesis master-mix family with different kit variants. This guide identifies those variants and compares them with Yeasen 11150 and 11155. Both Yeasen kits include a genomic-DNA removal component; 11150 supplies primers separately, while 11155 incorporates primers into its qPCR-oriented SuperMix.
| Decision factor | Reference product | Yeasen option | Buying consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| DNA-removal component | VILO 11756050/11756500 are kit-only variants; 11766050/11766500 explicitly include ezDNase. | 11150 includes gDNA Digester Mix. 11155 includes gDNA Digester Mix-V2. | Do not classify 11150 and 11155 as without versus with DNA removal. Match the complete component list of the kit being replaced.Invitrogen SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix: kit-only variantInvitrogen SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix with ezDNaseYeasen 11150: product specificationsYeasen 11155: product specifications |
| Primer presentation | SuperScript IV VILO is supplied as a cDNA synthesis master-mix product for RT-qPCR. | 11150 supplies random primers and oligo(dT)18 separately; 11155 contains premixed random and oligo(dT) primers. | Decide whether you need separately supplied primers or a premixed format before comparing pack prices.Invitrogen SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix: kit-only variantYeasen 11150: product specificationsYeasen 11155: product specifications |
| Buying purpose | The VILO product family is positioned for cDNA synthesis upstream of qPCR. | 11155 is intended for dye- and probe-based qPCR. Yeasen directs long-fragment amplification buyers to 11150 and does not recommend 11155 for that use. | Check suitability for the intended downstream assay. Shared cDNA-synthesis use does not demonstrate equivalent transcript representation or yield.Invitrogen SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix: kit-only variantYeasen 11150: product specificationsYeasen 11155: product specifications |

Questions before switching products
Does Yeasen 11150 lack genomic-DNA removal?
No. Its current manufacturer component list includes gDNA Digester Mix. The separately supplied primer format is a clearer distinction from 11155.
Section linkDoes the same reaction count mean the same amount of work?
Only when the reaction-volume basis and kit contents are comparable. Review the complete pack specification and your laboratory's requirements before comparing a cost per reaction.
Section linkWhich Yeasen kit should I examine first?
Review 11150 if separately supplied primers are important to your selection. Review 11155 if a premixed primer format for qPCR is preferred. The linked product documents describe the complete contents and intended uses.
