For use when assay sensitivity is of the utmost importance, Megaplex™ PreAmp Primers significantly enhance the ability to detect low expressed microRNAs enabling the generation of a comprehensive expression profile using far less sample, as low as 1 ng of input total RNA. With content matched to the Megaplex™ RT Primers, Megaplex™ PreAmp Primers, Human Pool A v2.1 is designed to be used with Megaplex™ RT Primers, Human Pool A v2.1. Following reverse transcription using Megaplex™ RT Primers, Megaplex™ PreAmp Primers along with the TaqMan® PreAmp Master Mix uniformly amplify all microRNAs prior to quantitation by real-time PCR using TaqMan® Array MicroRNA Cards.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I want to purchase TaqMan Array Human MicroRNA A Cards v2.0 (Cat. No. 4398965). What other reagents do I need to purchase in addition to these cards?

In order to perform reverse transcription on these cards, you will need the following:

  • TaqMan MicroRNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Cat. No. 4366596)
  • Megaplex RT Primers pools (for human Type A cards Cat. No. 4399966, for Type B cards Cat. No. 4444281)
You can proceed with or without a preamplification step which depends on the total RNA amount. Total RNA amount of 1‐1000 ng supports reverse transcription reaction with preamplification, whereas 350‐1000 ng of total RNA supports a reaction without preamplification. In case you are performing preamplification you would also need the TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix (Cat. No. 4391128) and the Megaplex PreAmp Primers, Human Pool A v2.1 (Cat. No. 4399233). You will also need the Master Mix for the qPCR reaction. It is not included in the card kit. The recommended Master Mix is: TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix – run mode Fast (Cat. No. 4444556) For further information, please see the following link.

Why does the negative control well show amplification when doing microRNA analysis using Megaplex Primer Pools and TaqMan Array Cards?

Most likely the reagents or the cDNA template are contaminated. Please follow established PCR laboratory best practices.

Why do I have poor reproducibility across technical replicates when doing microRNA analysis using Megaplex Primer Pools and TaqMan Array Cards?

Most likely the reagents were not adequately mixed. Ensure that all samples and reagents are mixed well.

When doing microRNA analysis using Megaplex Primer Pools and TaqMan Array Cards, why are the Ct values for the endogenous controls highly variable across the sample set?

Highly variable values for endogenous controls is most likely due to biological variation. We recommend that you use an alternative endogenous control, such as a non-variable miRNA.

Why is the Ct value for the no-template control (NTC) <35 for some TaqMan microRNA Assays?

The Ct value for the NTC can be <35 for the following reasons:
- There are non-specific interactions between primers. For NTC information on a specific assay, see the Megaplex Assay Performance File.
- The cDNA template is contaminated. Please ollow established PCR good laboratory practices to prevent contamination.
- The preamplification product was not diluted properly before real-time PCR. Ensure that you dilute the preamplification product according the procedure in the user guide.
