PerfeCTa SYBR Green SuperMix, UNG

PerfeCTa® SYBR® Green SuperMix, UNG is a 2X concentrated, ready-to-use reaction cocktail that contains all components, except primers and template for real-time quantitative PCR systems that do not require an internal reference dye. The proprietary buffer and stabilizers have been optimized exclusively for SYBR® Green I qPCR to deliver maximum PCR efficiency, sensitivity, and robust fluorescent signal. Highly specific amplification is crucial to successful qPCR with SYBR® Green I technology because this dye binds to and detects any dsDNA generated during amplification. A key component of this supermix is AccuStart™ Taq DNA polymerase which contains monoclonal antibodies that bind to the polymerase and keep it inactive prior to the initial PCR denaturation step. Upon heat activation (2 minutes at 95°C), the antibodies denature irreversibly, releasing fully active, unmodified Taq DNA polymerase. This enables specific and efficient primer extension with the convenience of room temperature reaction assembly. Additionally, the dNTP mix in this SuperMix contains dUTP in place of dTTP. Inclusion of uracil-N-glycosylase (UNG) prevents amplification of carry-over contamination from previous dU-containing PCRs.

  • 2X concentrated master mixes with stabilized SYBR Green dye and exceptional temperature stability (≥30 days at 22°C) that withstand repetitive freeze-thaw (≥ 20X).
  • Maximum SYBR Green dye load for robust optical signal with small amplicons. · Supports efficient vortexmixing with proprietary anti-foaming technology.
  • Maximum assay sensitivity and target precision with highly modified Taq DNA polymerase and stringentultrapure, AccuStart™ II antibody hotstart technology.
  • Easy-to-use with AccuVue™ plate loading dye and pre-blended passive reference dye.
