TAQuest™ FAST qPCR Master Mix with Helixyte™ Green *High ROX*
TAQuest™ FAST qPCR Master Mix with Helixyte™ Green is a ready-to-use 2X solution optimized for qPCR and 2-step RT-qPCR. The master mix delivers results within 50 minutes for 40 cycles of PCR in a 20 uL reaction volume. The mix includes an optimized buffer containing dNTPs and our proprietary TAQuest™ FAST Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase enzyme, an enzyme designed to allow instant hot start which minimizes non-specific product formation thus allowing room temperature reaction setup. Only template and target primers are required to run the desired PCR reactions. TAQuest™ FAST qPCR Master Mix with Helixyte™ Green ensures PCR specificity and sensitivity with all sample types such as genomic, plasmid, viral and cDNA templates. The Helixyte Green intercalating dye allows rapid DNA detection and analysis without using sequence-specific probes. This master mix contains a high amount of ROX reference dye.
Example protocol
SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
The following protocol can be used as a guideline.
