Probe-based qPCR master mix that has been optimized for highly sensitive and accurate quantification of up to 4 targets in a single reaction. This master mix was developed for TaqMan® probes but is also suitable for other hydrolysis probe types
HOT FIREPol® Multiplex qPCR Mix (ROX) is optimized for amplifying multiple targets in a single reaction in real-time quantitative PCR assays. The qPCR Mix comprises all the components necessary (except primers, probes and template) to perform qPCR: HOT FIREPol® DNA Polymerase, optimized buffer components, ultrapure dNTPs, MgCl2 and Purple passive reference dye according to system requirements.
HOT FIREPol® Multiplex qPCR Mix (ROX) is optimized for DNA hydrolysis probes based on the 5' flap endonuclease activity.
HOT FIREPol® DNA Polymerase is activated by a 10 min incubation step at 95°C. This prevents extension of non-specifically annealed primers and primer-dimers formed at low temperatures during qPCR setup.
Concentration: 5x
Hot-start: yes, initial activation in 10 min
Detection type: Probe-based
Reference dye: ROX
Suitable qPCR Cyclers: qPCR platforms from Applied Biosystems and Agilent/Stratagene. Check Your cycler!
HOT FIREPol® DNA Polymerase: chemically modified FIREPol® DNA Polymerase enabling hot-start
5x Multiplex qPCR buffer with 15 mM MgCl2: 1x PCR solution – 3mM MgCl2
dNTPs including dUTP: the mix allows UNG treatment to prevent carryover contamination from previous runs.IMPORTANT: UNG is not included in the HOT FIREPol® Multiplex qPCR Mix
ROX dye: If ROX, Texas Red, or similar dye is used as one of the fluorophores, ROX passive reference dye might interfere with the signal. A version without passive reference or with Purple reference dye is available.
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.
