PCRBIO Ultra Mix Red has been engineered for the amplification of extremely difficult templates, with the convenience of direct loading onto agarose gels without the need for additional loading buffer.
Description
The latest polymerase developments are combined with antibody-mediated hot start technology to deliver outstanding performance for all your PCR applications.
- Increased PCR success rates with difficult templates
- Exhibits high tolerance to PCR inhibitors
- Efficient specific amplification from complex templates including GC-rich sequences (up to 80%)
- Antibody-mediated hot start for unrivalled detection of low copy number templates
- Advanced buffer chemistry including Mg and dNTPs
- High yields under standard and fast PCR conditions
- 3 fold higher fidelity than Taq
- Available as a convenient 2x ready mix with the option of a red dye for direct gel loading
PCRBIO Ultra Mix Red is powered by PCRBIO Ultra Polymerase, a highly robust enzyme designed for efficient and reliable amplification of challenging and complex targets, even under difficult conditions such as the presence of inhibitors. The enzyme and buffer system have been developed to give superior PCR performance and higher success rates on a broad range of templates, including complex genomic DNA and targets with a high GC content.
Our antibody-mediated hot start formulation prevents the formation of primer dimers and non-specific products, allowing for specific and sensitive amplification from low copy number target sequences.
PCRBIO Ultra Mix Red has an error rate of approximately 1 error per 5.0 x 105 nucleotides incorporated. PCR products are A-tailed and may be cloned into TA cloning vectors.
Applications
- Difficult PCR - GC and AT-rich DNA
- Low copy template detection
- Crude sample PCR
- Colony PCR
- Long range PCR
- Multiplex PCR
- TA cloning
- Next generation sequencing
Storage
On arrival, products should be stored between -30 and -15°C. If stored correctly the kit will retain full activity for 12 months.
Figure 1. Long PCR products visualised on agarose gel
Amplification of 0.8kb, 1.0kb, 1.8kb, and 2.7kb fragments of the GAPDH gene, a 4.6kb fragment of the RBL15 gene, and a 5.9kb fragment of the MYH6 gene. The starting template amount is 20ng (50ng for the 5.9kb fragment) of mouse genomic DNA and is diluted 2 to 5 fold. PCRBIO Ultra Polymerase amplifies the range of fragment lengths indicated with high yield and specificity.
Figure 2. GC rich products visualised on agarose gel
Amplification of 0.5kb (P1) and 0.6kb (P2) fragments of the ATXN2 gene with GC contents of 69% and 71%, respectively, using 20ng of mouse genomic DNA
as template and a range of annealing temperatures from 67°C to 60°C (B-E). PCRBIO Ultra Polymerase efficiently amplifies GC rich templates >65% GC and is recommended for templates up to 80% GC.
