常见问题解答 (FAQ)
I need to see all the primer and probe sequences from an assay design right away. How can I do this?
You can directly see all the primer and probe sequences from a test design right away using the Primer Express Software. Open the software and choose File => New. Choose either TaqMan MGB Quantification or TaqMan Quantification for Gene Expression Assay design. Copy/paste your gene sequence of interest into the new window and click on the green triangle to get primer/probe designs.
How can I determine whether the Tm of my custom probe is appropriate?
In general, the target Tm of a TaqMan probe is 70 degrees C. Using the Primer Express Software, you can check the Tm of a MGB or TAMRA probe probe.
Within the software, go to Primer Probe Test Tool and then copy/paste in your sequence of interest to see the Tm. If you need to check for a MGB based probe, make sure to choose Document Type: TaqMan MGB Quantification. If you need to check for a QSY or TAMRA based probe, make sure to choose Document Type: TaqMan Quantification.

Is there a need to adjust filter settings on the instrument to utilize Cyanine 5 and Cyanine 5 dyes with TaqMan QSY/QSY2 Probes?
Yes, please make sure to enable the x6m6 filter (6th channel) in the instrument filter settings prior to the qPCR run. This filter is not preselected by default.
