General description

Inclusion of JumpStart™ Taq antibody in the ReadyMix™ eliminates polymerase activity at ambient temperatures without causing the performance issues associated with chemically modified hot-start Taq. This allows for very rapid activation of the Taq and delivers unparalleled assay sensitivity, while allowing for benchtop reaction setup.

  • 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.
LuminoCt® qPCR ReadyMix combines the performance enhancements of our JumpStart™ Taq antibody for hot start PCR with the convenience of an easy-to-use reaction mixture.

Application

LuminoCt® qPCR ReadyMix™ has been used in 2-step quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay to quantify the reverse transcription product or cDNA for gene expression analysis. It has also been used in qPCR for quantifying the RNA extracted from rhinoviruses.

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

LuminoCt qPCR ReadyMix, Catalog Number L5794, contains optimized concentrations of Tris-HCl, pH 8.3, KCl, dNTPs (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, TTP), stabilizers, MgCl2 and JumpStart Taq DNA Polymerase. Provided as 100, 500 and 2000 reactions (25 μL mix in a 50 μL reaction volume).

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
PCR Master Mix

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.

Polymerase Chain Reaction

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

qPCR Gene Expression Using Probe Detection

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.

Multiplex qPCR Protocol

A protocol that can be used as a basic template for qPCR incorporating up to four detection probes. In these reactions, primers and probe are included at a final concentration of 200 nM and are run using LuminoCt ReadyMix.

qPCR Using a Single Detection Probe Protocol

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' Assay for Analysis of RNA Integrity Protocol

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.
