General description

KiCqStart SYBR Green qPCR ReadyMix is a 2X concentrated, ready-to-use master mix that contains all components, except primers and template, for real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) This unique combination of proprietary buffer, stabilizers, and Hot-Start Taq DNA polymerase delivers maximum PCR efficiency, sensitivity, specificity and robust fluorescent signal using fast, or conventional, cycling protocols with SYBR Green qPCR.

Highly specific amplification is crucial to successful qPCR with SYBR Green I dye technology because this dye binds to and detects any dsDNA generated during amplification. Hot-Start Taq DNA polymerase is antibody mediated to be inactive prior to the initial PCR denaturation step.

Application

KiCqStart® SYBR® Green qPCR ReadyMix has been used for the qPCR analysis of 16S rRNA.
Different real-time PCR systems employ different strategies for the normalization of fluorescent signals and correction of well-to-well optical variations. It is critical to match the appropriate qPCR reagent to your specific instrument. KiCqStart SYBR Green qPCR ReadyMix, iQ contains fluorescein for experimental plate well factor collection on iCycler iQ real-time detection systems or the MyiQ detection system.
PCR applications:
  • Gene expression
  • DNA quantification
  • CHiP

Features and Benefits

  • Assay results in as little as 33 minutes
  • Highly efficient and sensitive real-time PCR results
  • Little/no optimization required

Components

2X reaction buffer containing optimized concentrations of MgCl2, dNTPs (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP), KiCqStart Taq DNA Polymerase, SYBR Green dye, 20 nM fluorescein, and stabilizers

packaging:
250 reactions* = 2 X 1.25 mL tubes
1250 reactions* = 10 X 1.25 mL tubes
5000 reactions* = 1 X 50 mL tube
*number of reactions based on a 20uL volume

Other Notes

Storage Conditions:
KiCqStart SYBR Green qPCR ReadyMix is stable for 1 year when stored in a constant temperature freezer at -20°C, protected from light. For convenience, it may be stored unfrozen at +2 to +8°C for up to 6 months. After thawing, mix thoroughly before using. Repeated freezing and thawing of the product is not recommended. However, the product demonstrated no loss of performance after 20 freeze-thaw cycles or 2 months at +20°C.

Quantitative PCR protocol using SYBR Green reagents. Procedure supports most qPCR instruments.

Gradient PCR for assay optimization is to determine the optimum annealing temperature (Ta) of the primers by testing identical reactions containing a fixed primer concentration, across a range of annealing temperatures.

Measuring a target quantity relative to one or more stable reference genes using SYBR Green I dye detection is a common application of qPCR. Below is a standard protocol that can be adapted to specific experimental needs.

Analysis of gene expression data requires a stable reference or loading control. This reference is usually one or more reference genes.
