Basic description

BioMaster HS-qPCR Hi-ROX (2×) contains 2× BioMaster HS-qPCR Hi-ROX reaction mix and sterile water. The kit is developed for quantitative real-time PCR with fluorescently labeled probes on PCR platforms that utilize ROX as a reference dye. BioMaster HS-qPCR Hi-ROX (2×) includes all the components (except for DNA template, primers and probe) necessary for PCR: HS-Taq DNA polymerase, dNTP mix, 2× PCR buffer, Mg2+ solution and ROX dye.

BioMaster HS-qPCR Hi-ROX (2×) is optimized for efficient and reproducible hot-start real-time PCR of genomic, plasmid and viral DNA samples. The mix is supplemented with additives that increase half-life and processivity of HS-Taq DNA polymerase by enhancing its stability during PCR. BioMaster HS-qPCR Hi-ROX (2×) does not contain substances that influence primer annealing temperature and characteristics of template melting. DNA polymerase included in the mix is inactive at room temperature and requires preheating at 95 °C for 5 min. The master mix is ideally suitable for PCR platforms that use ROX passive dye as a reference guide, such as Life Technologies (ABI) 7000, 7300, 7700, 7900, 7900HT and StepOnePlus. Use of the kit saves time and minimizes contamination risk due to reduced number of pipetting steps.

Areas of use

  • Classic PCR with "hot" start
  • Genotyping
  • PCR in real time with "hot" start, with probes and intercalating dyes

Reaction mixture properties

  • The mix is inactive at room temperature due to the Hot-Start technology and is activated after incubation at 95 °C for 5 min
  • Allows normalization using ROX dye as a reference
  • The mix is optimized for the specific performance of HS-Taq DNA polymerase, long-term storage (the storage of BioMaster HS-qPCR Hi-ROX (2×) at room temperature for a month does not affect PCR efficiency), multiple thawing-freezing cycles

Benefits of using

  • Enzyme with hot-start capability increases specificity and sensitivity of PCR
  • HS-Taq DNA polymerase activation requires not more than 5 min heating
  • High selectivity and reaction yield
  • Reduced preparation time
  • Low contamination risk during preparation of PCR solution
  • Allows data normalization
  • Standardized conditions of the same-type reactions (reduced pipetting error during mixing PCR components from experiment to experiment)

Storage

1 year (under proper storage and transportation conditions).

Transportation

at -20 °С; not more than 50 thawing-freezing cycles.
