• Superior antibody-mediated hot-start – higher specificity leading to more accurate quantification
• Pre-optimized formulations – multiplexing, fast cycling or UNG formats save time

Description

PerfeCTa® qPCR FastMix™ is a 2X concentrated, ready-to-use reaction cocktail containing all components except primers, probe and template for real-time quantitative PCR systems that do not require an internal reference dye. Quanta FastMixes™ include buffers and stabilizers optimized for maximum PCR efficiency, reproducibility and sensitivity with TaqMan® and TaqMan® MGB probe chemistries. A key component of PerfeCTa® qPCR FastMix is our AccuFast™ Taq DNA polymerase that enables instant activation and rapid polymerization kinetics. Upon heat activation (20 seconds at 95°C), the antibodies irreversiblydenature releasing fully active, unmodified Taq DNA polymerase. This promotes specific and efficient primer extension with the convenience of room temperature reaction assembly. PerfeCTa® qPCR FastMix™ delivers maximum PCR efficiency, sensitivity, specificity, and robust fluorescent signal with either Fast or conventional cycling conditions.

Storage conditions

PerfeCTa™ qPCR FastMix™, ROX is stable for 1 year when stored in a constant temperature freezer at -20°C. For convenience, it may be stored unfrozen at +2 to +8°C for up to 6 months. After thawing, mix thoroughly before using. Repeated freezing and thawing of the supermix is not recommended. However, the product demonstrated no loss of performance after 20 freeze-thaw cycles or 2 months at +20°C.
