Probe-based qPCR master mix that has been optimized for highly sensitive and accurate quantification of up to 4 targets in a single reaction. This master mix was developed for TaqMan® probes but is also suitable for other hydrolysis probe types
analyze 1-4 targets in 1 reaction
high specificity and sensitivity
robust amplification of GC-rich targets
contains dUTP to prevent cross-contamination when
used in combination with UNG
Description
HOT FIREPol® Multiplex qPCR Mix is optimized for amplifying multiple targets in a single reaction in real-time quantitative PCR assays. The qPCR Mix comprises all the components necessary (except primers, probes, and template) to perform qPCR: HOT FIREPol® DNA Polymerase, optimized buffer components, ultrapure dNTPs, and MgCl2.
HOT FIREPol® Multiplex qPCR Mix is optimized for DNA hydrolysis probes based on the 5' flap endonuclease activity.
HOT FIREPol® DNA Polymerase is activated by a 10 min incubation step at 95°C. This prevents the extension of non-specifically annealed primers and primer-dimers formed at low temperatures during qPCR setup.
Applications
detection and quantification of DNA and cDNA targets
profiling gene expression
microbial detection
viral load determination
