General description

Hot start polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is effortless using the FastStart PCR Master, a ready-to-use, double-concentrated hot start master mix. This master mix contains FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase, Roche high quality PCR-Grade nucleotides and all other reagents required for PCR and two-step reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR on thermal cycler instruments.
FastStart PCR Master accepts modified nucleotides such as Digoxigenin (DIG)-dUTP. Labeling with DIG-dUTP can be achieved by adding the modified nucleotide in a final concentration of 10 μM to the final volume.
Combine this master mix with Roche′s Transcriptor First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit to achieve excellent results in two-step RT-PCR.

Application

FastStart PCR Master has been used for the analysis of Nosema sp. DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, for validating the genomic DNA by PCR, for amplification of RNA by PCR method.
The FastStart PCR Master is a convenient alternative to the single reagents for nearly all hot start PCR applications. It can be applied for the amplification of genomic DNA and cDNA targets up to 2 kb long, or longer fragments on plasmid DNA targets, with high specificity, sensitivity, and yield. The enzyme is inactive at +15 to +25°C during PCR setup, and then activated at +95°C during initial denaturation. It can be used for:
  • Hot Start PCR up to 2 kb
  • Hot Start RT-PCR up to 2 kb
  • High-throughput PCR
  • Direct colony PCR

Features and Benefits

The FastStart Master has modified recombinant FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase, inactive at temperatures below +75°C. The kit also contains an optimized PCR buffer and GC-RICH Solution for handling a wide range of templates.

  • Higher specificity, sensitivity, and yield:
Hot start PCR makes PCR setup easier.
  • Use robotic setup.
Use this enyzme mix stable for 24 hours at +15 to +25°C.
  • Reduce Setup time.
Store master mixes at +2 to +8°C for immediate use for up to one month.

Contents
2x concentrated master mix containing FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase, Reaction Buffer, and Nucleotides (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP).
