Features and Benefits
• Delivers the benefits of antibody-inactivated hot-start PCR with SYBR Green detection in a ReadyMix ideal for high throughput applications; only primers and template are required.
• JumpStart Taq DNA polymerase prevents amplification of non-specific products, resulting in increased efficiency and higher target yield.
• SYBR Green JumpStart Taq ReadyMix for SYBR based QPCR is formulated with MgCl2 or packaged with a separate vial for ease of optimization. ReadyMixes are compatible with tube- and plate-based instruments.
Other Notes
Magnesium chloride is provided separately for optimization.
SYBR Green JumpStart Taq ReadyMix combines the performance enhancements of JumpStart Taq antibody for hot start PCR with SYBR Green I and the convenience of an easy-to-use ReadyMix solution. This ready-to-use mixture of SYBR Green I, JumpStart Taq DNA polymerase, 99% pure deoxynucleotides and reaction buffer is provided in a 2× concentrate for ease of use. Simply add 25 μl of the 2× mix to DNA template, primers and water. The JumpStart Taq antibody inactivates the DNA polymerase at room temperature. When the temperature is raised above 70 °C in the first denaturation step of the cycling process, the complex dissociates and the polymerase becomes fully active. JumpStart Taq DNA polymerase prevents non-specific amplification resulting in more accurate CT values.
Principle
SYBR Green JumpStart Taq ReadyMix is recommended for single product real-time amplification experiments and can also be used for PCR optimization prior to manufacture of fluorescent-labeled probes. Fluorescent labeled probes are not recommended for use with SYBR Green I dye.
SYBR Green I, a commonly used fluorescent DNA binding dye, binds all double-stranded DNA and detection is monitored by measuring the increase in fluorescence throughout the cycle. SYBR Green I has an excitation and emission maxima of 494 nm and 521 nm, respectively. The instrument settings for ROX reference dye are satisfactory for the measurement of the Reference Dye for Quantitative PCR. Specificity of Sigma's SYBR based QPCR detection is greatly enhanced by the incorporation of a hot-start mediated taq polymerase, JumpStart Taq.
