6 个常见问题解答

Can I set up and store the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix at room temperature if the instrument is in use?

For optimal results, we recommend to run the reaction plate right after setting up the reaction. If a reaction plate cannot be run within 2 hours of completing the reaction setup, then freeze/refrigerate the reaction plate until it can be loaded and run on the fast PCR instrument platform.

Is the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix offered with AmpErase UNG?

The TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix is provided without any UNG and you should add in AmpEraseUNG to reactions separately, with the addition of an initial 2 minute cycling step at 50º C. If you prefer to have a master mix with the UNG pre-added, please use TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix.

What are the storage conditions and the shelf life of the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix?

We recommend a storage temperature of 4C and the shelf life is 9 months from the manufacturing date.

Can I use TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix for both one-step and two-step RT-PCR?

TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix is recommended for two-step RT-PCR, but for one-step reactions, we recommend using TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step Master Mix as the preferred reagent.

What component in the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix (P/N 4352042) allows rapid amplification results?

The hot-start DNA polymerase enzyme system in the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix does not require an activation step, and can be activated with significantly shorter hold times for the thermal cycling stages of PCR, thereby minimizing PCR run time. For more information on using this reagent, please consult the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix (2X) protocol.

What is the lowest copy number that can be used with the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix (P/N 4352042)?

The fast master mix has demonstrated detection down to 10 copies of the RNase P gene with genomic DNA. Of course, detection limits may vary depending on factors such as assay design and sample preparation.
