Thermo Scientific™ Luminaris Probe qPCR Master Mixes

Description

Thermo Scientific Luminaris Color HiGreen and Luminaris HiGreen qPCR Master Mixes are universal ready-to-use solutions optimized for qPCR and two-step RT-qPCR. The master mixes include Thermo Scientific Hot Start Taq DNA polymerase, uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) and dNTPs in an optimized PCR buffer. Only the template and primers need to be added. The SYBR Green I intercalating dye allows for DNA detection and analysis without using sequence-specific probes.
The Hot Start Taq DNA polymerase in combination with an optimized buffer ensures PCR specificity and sensitivity. dUTP and UDG are included in the mix for carry-over contamination control (see Reference 1). The Luminaris Color HiGreen qPCR Master Mixes are supplemented with an inert blue dye and a separate Yellow Sample Buffer that contains a yellow dye. The qPCR reaction mix containing both components is green.
The use of Luminaris Color HiGreen and Luminaris HiGreen qPCR Master Mixes in qPCR ensures reproducible, sensitive and specific quantification of genomic, plasmid, viral and cDNA templates. Individual formulations of Luminaris Color HiGreen and Luminaris HiGreen qPCR Master Mixes with ROX at different concentrations or fluorescein as passive reference dyes are available for most qPCR platforms (see Real-time PCR instrument compatibility chart).
