Description
Coupled with user-supplied primer sets and template, PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix is designed to amplify targets for accurate gene expression analysis.
- A dual hot-start mechanism for excellent specificity
- Highly reproducible CTs over a broad dynamic range
- Inclusion of UDG to help prevent carryover contamination
- Stability of pre-assembled reactions for up to 72 hours
- Compatibility with most real-time qPCR instruments
Exceptional specificity with dual hot-start mechanism:
- Specificity is paramount in obtaining high-quality data in SYBR™ Green reactions and can be enhanced through control of the Taq DNA polymerase at lower temperatures before stringent primer binding
- PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix uses the Dual-Lock™ Taq DNA polymerase enzyme that combines two unique hot-start mechanisms to help control its activity and to prevent undesirable early activity of the polymerase at low temperatures
- In an experiment evaluating 24 different primer sets, PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix generated single melt curves 100% of the time, consistent with highly specific amplification
Tight reproducibility in CTs over a wide dynamic range:
- PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix demonstrates excellent reproducibility over a wide dynamic range for a variety of targets tested
- In addition, this master mix provides efficient amplification over 6 logs of sample input
- Unlike competitor mixes that can exhibit inhibition at high cDNA inputs and low correlation coefficients over a dynamic range experiment, PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix efficiency is maintained over the full dynamic range to help deliver maximal confidence in data quality
UDG included for carryover contamination control:
- The inclusion of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) and dUTP in the PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix enables the degradation of any previously amplified PCR products, helping prevent contamination of subsequent qPCR reactions and possible false positives
Stability of pre-assembled reactions:
- The tight control of the Dual-Lock™ Taq DNA polymerase in PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix enables reactions to be assembled up to 72 hours prior to cycling without impacting data
- This consistency allows users to have confidence and flexibility in the use of PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix across numerous workflow scenarios1
Broad instrument compatibility:
- PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix can be used in either standard or fast cycling mode and is compatible with all Applied Biosystems™ real-time PCR instruments2
- It is also compatible with the Bio-Rad IQ™5 and CFX96™/CFX384™ systems, Roche LightCycler™ LC480, and Stratagene™ MX3005P™ systems
- For optimal results, recommended primer concentrations are 300 to 800nM
