Platinum™ Quantitative PCR SuperMix-UDG, 100 reactions - FAQs

Why is UDG important in the Platinum Quantitative PCR SuperMix-UDG mix?

UDG and dUTP are included to prevent the reamplification of carryover PCR products between reactions. dUTP ensures that any amplified DNA will contain uracil, while UDG removes uracil residues from single- or double-stranded DNA, preventing dU-containing DNA from serving as template in future PCRs.
