qPCR
MasterMixes
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Hot Start PCR allowing to achieve highest sensitivity and specificity under both standard and fast qPCR cycling conditions.
-
ROX content option for best normalization calculations in different concentration to fit for almost all type of instruments.
-
Works with high GC & high AT-rich templates
-
Rapid extension, early Ct detections
-
Very high sensitivity
-
Minimum or no optimization is required
APPLICATIONS
-
Relative gene expression analysis
-
Absolute quantification of any RNA template (mRNA, total RNA, viral RNA) and low copy number genes
-
qRT-PCR assays based on CYBER Green or specific Probes: including TaqMan®, Molecular Beacons, Scorpions™ Probes
DESCRIPTIONS
-
2X master mix for 500 or 1000 reactions per 20µl reaction volume
-
Supplied with PCR degree water
-
To cover all RT-PCR instruments, the InView qRT-PCR MasterMixes are available in three versions – without ROX, with low or high ROX concentration. See the ROX concentration table below to know which ROX concentration suits your instrument
PROTOCOL
Tips for successful workflow
-
Use special primer selection programs for good planning.
-
Work with amplicons in a range of 80-200, max 400 bp.
-
Take typical measures to prevent PCR cross over contamination, keep your bench clean, wear gloves, use sterile tubes and filter pipet tips.
-
Run reactions in triplets; include a no-template control, no RT Mix control and positive control in parallel.
-
Thaw and keep reagents on ice. Mix well before use.
-
Do not perform annealing/extension for more than 30 seconds and do not use lower than 60 °C temperature for this step.
To Prepare a 20 μl reaction, mix the following:
-
Reverse Primer: 100 - 400 nM final concentration
-
Forward Primer: 100 - 400 nM final concentration
-
Specific Probe 200 nM final c. (0.4 μl of 10 μM) "Only if Probe based MasterMix is used. CYBER Green MasterMixes do not require Probes"
-
cDNA template 100 ng or gDNA 1µg
-
Add PCR Water to 10 μl volume
-
InView qRT-PCR MasterMix (2X): 10 μl
-
Mix gently, avoid bubbles. Place into the instrument
-
If Probe based MasterMixe is used set the instrument channels according to the probes specifications
-
If CYBER Green MasterMix is used, set the instrument onto SYBR® Green or FAM channel
-
PCR Program
-
Initial denaturation 1 cycle: 95°C - 2 min for cDNA, or 1 cycle: 95°C - 3 min for gDNA
-
Denaturation 40 cycles: 95°C - 5 sec
-
Annealing/extension 40 cycles: 60-65°C – 20-30 sec
