What is in TaqMan universal master mix?
The TaqMan® Universal PCR Master Mix is optimized for 5′ nuclease assay using TaqMan® probes and contains AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase, dNTPs with dUTP, Passive Reference 1, optimized buffer components, and AmpErase® UNG. It is available in several sizes and is supplied at 2X concentration.
What is Universal PCR master mix?
TaqMan Universal PCR Master Mix is the ideal reagent solution when you need a master mix for multiple 5′ nuclease DNA applications. Applied Biosystems reagents have been validated with TaqMan assays and Applied Biosystems real-time systems to ensure sensitive, accurate, and reliable performance every time.
What is master mix in DNA?
A PCR master mix is a premixed concentrated solution that has all of the components for a real-time PCR reaction that are not sample-specific. A master mix usually contains a thermostable DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2, and proprietary additives in a buffer optimized for PCR.
What is TaqMan probe made of?
TaqMan probes consist of a fluorophore covalently attached to the 5′-end of the oligonucleotide probe and a quencher at the 3′-end. Several different fluorophores (e.g. 6-carboxyfluorescein, acronym: FAM, or tetrachlorofluorescein, acronym: TET) and quenchers (e.g. tetramethylrhodamine, acronym: TAMRA) are available.
What is a TaqMan assay?
TaqMan genotyping assays are used to amplify and detect specific alleles in genomic DNA (gDNA). The figure below depicts the TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay process. Genomic DNA is introduced into a reaction mixture consisting of TaqMan® Genotyping Master Mix, forward and reverse primers and two TaqMan® MGB Probes.
What are the 4 major components of PCR master mixes?
A PCR master mix is a premixed solution that contains most of the components necessary to run a PCR assay. The mix contains Taq DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2, as well as enhancers and stabilizers in a buffer that is optimized for DNA amplification by PCR.
What is the master mix and why do you need each component?
What is the master mix and why do you need each component? It contains all the components for PCR mix to occur; including the individual building blocks of DNA (nucleotides, or dNTP’s), a special buffer to maintain optimum pH, salts, and MgCl2.
What is a PCR master mix and what is the advantage of using it?
What is TaqMan primer?
Applied Biosystems predesigned TaqMan Assays consist of target-specific primers and one or more probes optimized for specific applications, including gene expression, SNP genotyping, miRNA, mutation detection, and copy number variation analysis.
What is TaqMan technology?
TaqMan PCR is a type of real-time PCR and uses a nucleic acid probe complementary to an internal segment of the target DNA. The probe is labeled with two fluorescent moieties. The emission spectrum of one overlaps the excitation spectrum of the other, resulting in “quenching” of the first fluorophore by the second.
What is TaqMan used for?
TaqMan genotyping assays are used to amplify and detect specific alleles in genomic DNA (gDNA).
