General description

JumpStart REDTaq® ReadyMixPCR Reaction Mix is a prepared solution combining the performance benefits of hot start PCR with the dual convenience of Sigma′s ReadyMix and REDTaq. The Master mix includes Sigma′s JumpStart Taq DNA Polymerase, 99% pure deoxynucleotides, buffer, and an inert red dye in a 2× optimized reaction concentrate. Add 25 μL of the ReadyMix to primers, template, and water to a final reaction volume of 50 μL. JumpStart Taq antibody in the reaction mix inactivates the Taq DNA polymerase at room temperature. During the first denaturation step of PCR the complex dissociates and polymerase activity is fully restored. The inert red dye does not effect automated sequencing, restriction enzyme digestion, ligation, or other downstream manipulations. The PCR product is easily separated from the dye by standard purification methods if desired. The hot start mechanism allows for room temperature set up, making it the ideal for high throughput applications.

Application

Jumpstart REDTaq® ReadyMix Reaction Mix is used for direct DNA extraction and amplification using PCR. It has also been used for:
  • qualitative multiplex PCR
  • methylation-specific PCR (MSPCR)
  • PCR amplification of cDNA synthesized from total RNA

Features and Benefits

  • JumpStart REDTaq® DNA polymerase, an antibody inactivated hot start enzyme, is designed to minimize non-specific amplification while increasing target yield & specificity
  • JumpStart Taq DNA polymerase provides superior amplification regardless of template concentration
  • REDTaq JumpStart ReadyMix reduces pipetting steps and risk of contamination. The hot start mechanism allows for room temperature set up, making it the ideal for high throughput applications
  • Inert red dye allows for easy verification that reagent has been mixed properly
  • Other loading dyes are not required. Aliquots may be directly loaded onto an agarose gel after the reaction

Packaging

Default reaction volume is 50 μL

20RXN is packaged as 1 X 500 μL
100RXN is packaged as 1 X 2.5 mL
800RXN is packaged as 1 X 20 mL

Unit Definition

One unit incorporates 10 nmol of total dNTPs into acid precipitable DNA in 30 min. at 74 °C.

Other Notes

View more detailed information on JumpStart REDTaq and ReadyMix products at www.sigma-aldrich.com/hotstart.
For a typical PCR reaction, mix 25 μL of JumpStart REDTaq® ReadyMix with 25 μL of a mixture containing template DNA, primers, and water. Reaction volume can be scaled if desired.

Articles

The assessment of DNA quality is a crucial first step in acquiring meaningful data from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, and other sources of damaged DNA. Using intact genomic DNA is key for successful analysis of chromosomal aberrations (e.g. SNP analysis, LOH, aCGH, etc.).

Real-time polymerase chain reaction allows researchers to estimate the quantity of starting material in a sample. It has a much wider dynamic range of analysis than conventional PCR

Learn about the history of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), from the basic principles that proceeded its discovery to the awarding of a Nobel Prize for Chemistry and more recent developments such as real-time PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR.
