Extremely fast and highly sensitive probe-based qPCR Mix that hasbeen optimized for detection and quantification of up to five targetssimultaneously
Learn more from the WEBINAR.
SolisFAST® Probe qPCR Mix is a 5x-concentrated, ready-to-use solution for fast, highly sensitive and reproducible probe-based qPCR assays using dual-labeled hydrolysis probes (e.g. TaqMan® probes), and is suitable for detection and quantitation of up to five targets simultaneously.
Combining our novel in silico- designed SolisFAST® DNA Polymerase and optimized buffer, this mix offers robust qPCR, and accurate target detection combined with ice free shipping and reaction set-up.
Concentration: 5x
Hot-start: yes, 3 minutes initial incubation at 95 °C
Cycling speed: fast or ultra-fast
Detection type: Probe-based
Reference dye: none
Multiplex: up to 5 plexes simultaneously
Compatible real-time instruments: The mix is compatible with qPCR cyclers that do not require an internal reference dye (e.g. ROX) for normalization of fluorescent signal. Check Your cycler!
SolisFAST® DNA Polymerase: In silico- designed analogue of Taq DNA polymerase with enhanced stability at room temperature, fast hot-start and faster extension rates compared to the wild-type Taq DNA polymerase.
qPCR buffer: Includes 15 mM MgCl2 (1x PCR solution 3 mM MgCl2), dNTPs (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP), additives that maximize efficiency of PCR
Dye-based detection (e.g., EvaGreen®, SolisGreen®, SYBR® Green) is a cost-effective qPCR option, as it requires only addition of PCR primers. However, the intercalating dye will detect any dsDNA (non-specific amplicons, primer dimers) produced in the reaction. Melt curve analysis performed after the qPCR can be used to verify the specificity of amplification and to check for the presence of non-specific amplification products.
The probe-based qPCR system demonstrates higher specificity compared to dye-based qPCR, because probes only detect the gene of interest. Keep in mind that in probe-based assays, primer dimers and non-specific products will not be detected, however, they may compromise the PCR efficiency. Using probe-based qPCR system, it is possible to distinguish between sequences with high similarity (e.g. single-nucleotide variations). Additionally, probe-based qPCR assays allow for multiplex reactions in one tube, while only a single target can be amplified and measured in a dye-based qPCR.
Recommended final amount of cDNA sample in downstream PCR reaction is up to one tenth of the final reaction volume. Overload of cDNA sample may compromise the downstream PCR, because cDNA sample may contain reaction components that may inhibit your PCR reaction.
ROX (carboxy-X-rhodamine) is one of the passive reference dyes providing a constant fluorescent signal that is used for signal normalization during the amplification cycles. The emission recorded from a reference dye during the baseline cycles is used to normalize the emission recorded from the reporter (e.g. EvaGreen®, SolisGreen®, SYBR® Green, etc.) in later cycles in ROX-dependent real-time PCR systems (e.g. Applied Biosystems 5700, 7000, 7300, 7700, 7900HT, StepOne™, StepOnePlus™). Reference dye compensates for small fluorescent fluctuations and well-to-well variations that may occur.
In Solis BioDyne qPCR mixes we use technology, based on ROX, that allows us to use same mix for high- and low- ROX requiering cyclers.
