-
Works with high GC & high AT-rich templates
-
Rapid extension, early Ct detections
-
Very high sensitivity
APPLICATIONS
-
Relative gene expression analysis
-
Absolute quantification of any RNA template (mRNA, total RNA, viral RNA), low copy number genes
-
qRT-PCR assays based on specific probes: including TaqMan®, Molecular Beacons, Scorpions™ Probes
DESCRIPTIONS
-
2X master mix for 500 reaction per 20µl reaction volume
-
Optimized with Hot Start Polymerase, Thermostable, and extremely active Reverse Transcriptase & advanced RNase Inhibitor allowing for a single step one tube qRT-PCR.
-
Highest sensitivity and specificity under both standard and fast qPCR cycling conditions.
-
Excellent performance on both AT/GC rich templates and guaranty rapid extension with early Ct values with minimum or no optimization.
-
Supplied with PCR Water to guaranty the best performance.
-
To cover all RT-PCR instruments, the OneStep qRT-PCR Probe-based 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.
-
Total RNA template: 1pg to 1 μg (or mRNA template; >0.01 pg)
-
Add PCR Water to 10 μl volume
-
OneStep qRT-PCR MMix (2X): 10 μl
-
RT3 Mix (20X) 1-2 μl (2 μl improve Ct, but primer dimers may appear)
-
Mix gently, avoid bubbles. Place into the instrument
-
If Probe based MasterMix is used set the instrument channels according to the probes specifications
-
If Green MasterMix is used, set the instrument onto SYBR® Green or FAM channel
