Excellent amplification with templates up to 79% GC content.
Suitable for templates up to 5 kb.
Suitable for fragment analysis.
Description
HOT FIREPol® GC Master Mix has been developed for working with difficult GC-rich templates and DNA secondary structures. It shows excellent amplification with templates up to 79% GC content.
The master mix contains hot-start Taq polymerase HOT FIREPol®, MgCl2, dNTPs, and a special buffer for high-yield GC-rich amplification.
Extra vials of 100% DMSO and 25 mM MgCl2 enable flexibility in reaction optimization.
Reagents Provided
HOT FIREPol® GC Master Mix - 1 ml | 250 rxn
25 mM MgCl2 - 0.5 ml
DMSO 100% - 0.5 ml

Mix Composition:
HOT FIREPol® DNA polymerase: chemically modified FIREPol® DNA Polymerase enabling hot-start.
5x HOT FIREPol® GC Buffer with 7.5 mM MgCl2: 1x PCR solution –1.5 mM MgCl2.
dNTPs: dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP.
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) to enhance PCR reaction.
In separate vials:
100% DMSO is included in the kit in a separate vial. DMSO is recommended as a PCR additive for templates with high GC content. In some cases, DMSO is also required to relax secondary structures.
25 mM MgCl2 for further optimization.
