General description
- Kit is designed to perform probe-based qPCR assays on commonly available real-time instrument platforms.
- ReadyMix requires the addition of reference dye (provided in kit) when being used on real-time instruments that require ROX passive reference dye for normalization of qPCR assays.
- Kit is not compatible with qPCR instruments that utilize glass capillary tubes.
Application
Features and Benefits
- Ideal for rapid, high-throughput 2-step qPCR protocols
- The master mix allows consistency and reproducibility from one reaction to the next
- Reduced preparation time and the risk of contamination from multiple pipetting steps
- Compatible with commonly available real-time instrument platforms for probe-based qPCR assays
- Require small amplicons (<200 bp) for optimal results
- Compatible with commercial primer sets, including TaqMan® assays
- JumpStart™ Taq DNA polymerase allows room temperature set-up and the hot-start mechanism prevents primer-dimer and non-specific product formation
- Assay results in as little as 25 minutes
- Designed to deliver unsurpassed accuracy, precision, and sensitivity
- Extensive design and validation of ReadyMix chemistry virtually eliminates the need to optimize assay parameters
Packaging
100x ROX internal reference dye, Catalog Number R4526. Optional, for use with machines compatible with an internal reference dye, e.g., ABI and Stratagene.
Default reaction volume is 50 μL
100RXN is packaged as 1 X 2.5 mL
500RXN is packaged as 1 X 12.5 mL
2000RXN is packaged as 1 X 50 mL
Other Notes
- Commercially available 5′ nuclease assays (e.g., TaqMan® Assays) are compatible with LuminoCt ReadyMix.
- At a minimum, use software to design primers and probes for assays and ensure that qPCR amplicons are <200 bp.
- Sigma recommends designing primers and probes with Beacon Designer software

Probe based QPCR utilizes a fluorescent–labeled target-specific probe resulting in increased specificity and sensitivity. Additionally, a variety of fluorescent dyes are available so that multiple primers can be used to simultaneously amplify many sequences.
A PCR master mix is a batch of PCR or RT-PCR reagents that can be divided among many PCR reaction tubes. It usually includes DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and buffer. Make your own master mix or choose a commercial one.
The polymerase chain reaction is one of the most widely used techniques in molecular biology. The PCR process consists of three main steps, Denaturation, Annealing & Extension
Protocols
The most common application for qPCR is the measurement of a gene transcript or copy number quantity relative to one or more reference genes using probe detection.
Although quantitative PCR uses the same basic concept as traditional PCR, the reactions differ in that the amplicons are generally smaller and are detected indirectly using an additional dye or labeled probe or primer.
A protocol that can be used as a basic template for qPCR incorporating a detection probe that is specific to a single target. In these reactions, primers and probe are included at a final concentration of 200 nM and are run using LuminoCt® ReadyMix™.
The 3’/5’ integrity assay is a potential first step in the identification of RNA degradation. The assay is particularly useful when a large number of samples are to be analyzed or when the degradation is less than that detected by capillary systems but still sufficient to effect qPCR analyses.

RT-qPCR, or quantitative reverse transcription PCR, combines the effects of reverse transcription and quantitative PCR or real-time PCR to amplify and detect specific targets. RT-qPCR has a variety of applications including quantifying gene expression levels, validating RNA interference (RNAi), and detecting pathogens such as viruses.
