Has anyone used Fermentas RT enzyme ep0441?

07 July 2014 1 2K Report

We use fermentas RT enzyme (catalog number - ep0441) for reverse transcription. I was wondering if the cDNA formed is single-stranded or double stranded, as the enzyme has RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent polymerase activity and RNaseH activity.
