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

  • 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
  • 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

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.

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
