What is in TaqMan master mix?

TaqMan™ Master Mixes contain buffer, dNTPs, passive reference dye, thermostable hot-start DNA polymerase, and other components formulated for reliable TaqMan™ Assay-based real-time PCR. Just add your sample and TaqMan Assay, and start your reactions.

What is TaqMan Fast Advanced master mix?

TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ Fast Advanced Master Mix has been designed to match or exceed the performance of standard master mixes, delivering shorter run times (<40 minutes) with results equal to or better than what is achieved today.

What is PCR master mix used for?

The master mix enables researchers to set up controls and test different concentrations of their target DNA or RNA templates without having to individually add precise amounts of enzymes, buffers, cofactor (usually MgCl2), water and dNTP to each reaction tube or plate well.

How do you prepare a master mix for a PCR reaction?

Prepare one of the following reaction mixes on ice: For a 25µl reaction volume: Component Volume Final Conc. PCR Master Mix, 2X 12.5µl 1X upstream primer, 10µM 0.25–2.5µl 0.1–1.0µM downstream primer, 10µM 0.25–2.5µl 0.1–1.0µM DNA template 1–5µl < 250ng Nuclease-Free Water to 25µl N.A.

What is a TaqMan assay?

TaqMan genotyping assays are used to amplify and detect specific alleles in genomic DNA (gDNA). The figure below depicts the TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay process. Genomic DNA is introduced into a reaction mixture consisting of TaqMan® Genotyping Master Mix, forward and reverse primers and two TaqMan® MGB Probes.

What are the other components of the master mix and what are their functions?

A PCR master mix is a premixed solution that contains most of the components necessary to run a PCR assay. The mix contains Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2, as well as enhancers and stabilizers in a buffer that is optimized for DNA amplification by PCR.

What does 5X master mix mean?

The 5X formulation allows the user maximal input of primers, template DNAs and additional components. Figure 1. 15-plex PCR using varying amounts of human genomic DNA. 1X Multiplex PCR 5X Master Mix was used with 0.15 μM of each primer.

Is TaqMan better than SYBR Green?

In quantitative gene expression analysis, two methods have more popularity, SYBR Green and TaqMan, SYBR Green is relatively cost benefit and easy to use and technically based on binding the fluorescent dye to double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) where TaqMan method has more expensive and based on dual labeled …
