2×Universal Blue Multiplex Probe qPCR Master Mix (with UDG)

Product Information

Description/Introduction

The product is a 2×universal fluorescence quantitative PCR premixture based on probe method, after the special optimization of the multiple fluorescence quantitative PCR reaction system, up to quadruple fluorescence quantitative PCR reaction in the same reaction tube. At the same time, the product contains a unique correction dye, which is compatible with all qPCR equipment, and there is no need to adjust the ROX concentration on different instruments. A blue dye is added to the premix to serve as an indicator when adding samples to the clear reaction plate.  In addition, the product also includes Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) and specially optimized dUTP addition amount, which can prevent cross-contamination of the producttemplate residual contamination and improve the specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of the product.

Storage and Handling Conditions

Shipped with wet ice and stored at -20°C; valid for up to 12 months.

Product Contents

Before starting (please read carefully)

1. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument is required.

2. Special qPCR reaction tubes or reaction plate for experiment are required but not supplied in this kit.

3. QPCR primers and probes (reference primers and probe design principles) are required but not supplied in this kit.

Assay Protocol / Procedures

1. Recommend PCR reaction system:

a. Usually, a good amplification effect can be obtained with the final concentration of 0.2 μM. When the reaction performance is poor, the primer concentration can be adjusted in the range of 0.12-1.0.5 μM.

b. The amount of template addition varies with the number of copies of target genes in the template solution. Gradient dilute the template and investigate the appropriate amount of template addition. In the 20 μL reaction system, the amount of template DNA should be less than 100 ng. When using cDNA (RT reaction solution) of RT-PCR reaction as template, the addition amount should not exceed 10% of the total volume of PCR reaction solution.

2. PCR reaction procedure (can be adjusted according to the model):

a. To improve the specificity of amplification, the two-step procedure can be used or the annealing temperature can be increased. To improve the amplification efficiency, the three-step procedure can be used or the extension time can be extended.

Note

1. After thawing, please gently mix up and down, do not vortex, avoid bubbles, mix well before use.

2. When preparing the reaction solution, please place the reagent on the ice.

3. The product contains fluorescent dyes, so strong light should be avoided when preparing qPCR reaction solution.

4. New disposable tips should be used for preparation of reaction mixes to avoid cross contamination.

5. Avoid freeze-thawing cycles of the Master Mix, and try to use it up within a month after thawing.

Primer Design Principles

Taqman primer design principle

1. Determine the probe before designing primers.

2. When designing primers, get as close to the probe as possible without overlapping the probe.

3. Avoid using 4 or more consecutive G.

4. The Tm value of each primer should be 58-60°C.

5. The last 5 nucleotides at the end of the primer cannot have more than 2 G and C.

6. Primers had better not contain self-complementary sequences, otherwise they will form the hairpins.

7. In order to avoid the amplification of the genome, it is best to design primers across exons.

8. The length of amplification product should be 50-150 bp in order to obtain the best PCR efficiency.

9. No other non-specific products were found in the comparison results on NCBI.

Taqman probe design principle

1. Probe length should be 13-25 bp (13-30 bp if conventional TaqMan probe is used).

2. The Tm value should be 65°C~70°C, which is usually 5°C~10°C higher than the TM value of the primer to ensure that the probe preferentially binds to the target gene during annealing.

3. For a primer, the content of guanine-cytosine (G+C) should be between 40% and 70%.

4. The 5 'end of the probe should avoid using G, because the 5' end G will have quenching effect, even if it is cut off.

5. In the whole probe, the content of C is obviously higher than that of G, and the high content of G will have quenching effect, so we can choose another paired chain as the probe.

Taqman MGB probe design principle

1. A report dye (for example, FAMTM) is attached to the 5 'end of the probe.

2. There is a non-fluorescence quenching group (NFQ) at the 3 'end of the probe.

3. The part of MGB is attached to NFQ, and MGBs increases the annealing temperature (Tm) without increasing the length of the probe, so a shorter probe can be designed, but not less than 13 bp.

4. In principle, as long as there is a base mutation in the MGB probe, MGB can detect it (the MGB probe will not bind to the target gene and will not produce a fluorescent signal).
