Description:
Multiplex PCR Master is specially designed for the set-up of multiplex PCR reactions. It contains an optimized composition of polymerase, nucleotides, MgCl2 and stabilizing components in a specifically developed buffer system allowing the parallel amplification of a multitude of fragments in a single PCR assay.
The master mix contains all reagents (except primer and template) in a 2x concentrated ready-to-use solution.
The kit is recommended for use in routine PCR reactions and highly suitable for multiple target gene amplification in a single tube.
The high specificity and sensitivity of the mix is achieved by a chemically inhibited hot-start polymerase. Its activity is blocked at ambient temperature preventing the extension of nonspecifically annealed primers and primer-dimer formations at low temperatures during PCR setup.

master mix containing Hot Start Taq polymerase, nucleotides, optimized reaction buffer and stabilizers

PCR grade water (white cap)

Recommended 50 μl PCR assay:
Prepare a master mix of all components except template to reduce pipetting errors. A reaction volume of 20-50 μl per assay is recommended for most PCR cyclers. Pipet with sterile filter tips and perform the setup in an area separate from DNA preparation or analysis. No-template controls should be included in all amplifications.

1)The optimal annealing temperature (AT) can be calculated for each primer as following:
AT = Tm - 5 °C with Tm = 2 °C x (A+T) + 4 °C x (G+C)
Please note that primers should be designed to show minimal differences in there melting temperatures (Tm).
2)Cycle numbers are recommended as following:

  • animal genomic DNA
    10 - 50 ng: 35 - 50 cycles
    50 - 200 ng: 30 - 45 cycles
  • bacterial genomic DNA
    1 - 5 ng: 35 - 50 cycles
    5 - 50 ng: 30 - 40 cycles
  • plasmid and lambda DNA
    1 - 5 ng: 30 - 40 cycles

3)The elongation time depends on the length of the fragments to be amplified. A time of 1 min/kb is recommended.

For optimal specificity and amplification an individual optimization of the recommended parameters may be necessary for each new template DNA and/or primer pair.
