How much blood can be added directly to multiplex PCR reaction using Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mix?

For direct multiplex PCR without prior DNA purification, add up to 4 µL of whole blood to 50 µL final reaction volume.

Can Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mix be stored at +4 degrees C?

Yes, Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mix can be stored at +4 degrees C for up to 3 months with no effect on performance.

What is the limit of amplicon size using Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mix?

Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mix is designed for simultaneous amplification of targets up to 2.5 kb.

How many fragments can be amplified in a single reaction using Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mix?

We have demonstrated successful simultaneous amplification of 24 DNA fragments.

What are the Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mixes and what is the purpose of the Green format?

Thermo Scientific Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mixes (Cat. No. F562S, F564S, F562L, F564L) are ready-to-use, 2X end-point PCR master mixes designed for simultaneous amplification of multiple targets in a single tube. Over 20 primer pairs may be combined into a single reaction for highly specific and efficient multiplexing over a broad range of primer and template concentrations. Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mixes contains a proprietary buffer with balanced concentrations of all PCR components eliminating the need for tedious optimization.

The Green format of the Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mixes (Cat. No. F564S, F564L) further simplifies the workflow: it includes a density reagent and two electrophoresis tracking dyes for direct loading of PCR products on gels.

Can I use Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mix for amplifying uracil-containing templates?

Yes, Phusion U Multiplex PCR Master Mix contains Phusion U Hot Start DNA Polymerase which is a novel engineered high-fidelity enzyme developed using fusion technology. Due to a proprietary mutation in the so-called dUTP binding pocket of Phusion, Phusion U overcomes an important limitation of proofreading enzymes.
