Optimized Formulation for Exceptional Speed and Performance
Fast SYBR® Green Master Mix contains everything you need, excluding the template and primers, in a convenient 2X mix. It includes the following components in an optimized buffer:
- AmpliTaq® Fast DNA Polymerase, UP, a highly purified DNA polymerase designed to allow instant hot start, minimizing non-specific product formation and enabling reactions to be set up at room temperature
- SYBR® Green I dye enabling detection of double-stranded DNA
- Deoxynucleotides (dNTPs) to help maintain optimal PCR results
- Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) designed to reduce carryover contamination
- Passive internal reference based on proprietary ROX™ dye to enable increased precision
Exceptional Speed Without Compromise
Fast SYBR® Green Master Mix is designed to deliver PCR results on Fast instruments in less than half the time of standard real-time PCR reagents while maintaining the equivalent PCR performance on Fast PCR. The dynamic range, sensitivity and resulting PCR efficiency of Fast SYBR® Green Master Mix is comparable to Power SYBR® Green PCR Master Mix, while PCR run time is decreased by at least 60%.
Minimizing Non-Specific Amplification Without Compromising Sensitivity
The presence of secondary non-specific PCR products and primer-dimers can help reduce amplification efficiency, and ultimately the accuracy of the data. Primer-dimers can also limit the dynamic range of the desired standard curve due to competition for reaction components during amplification. Fast SYBR® Green Master Mix was formulated to minimize primer dimerization and non-specific amplification to optimize the efficiency and accuracy of the reaction without compromising sensitivity.
Reliable Quantitation of Abundant and Limited Targets
Fast SYBR® Green Master Mix is designed to provide dependable target quantitation over a wide dynamic range and is not limited only to abundant transcripts such as plasmids.
Discriminating Less Than 2-Fold Difference
The high sensitivity provided by Fast SYBR® Green Master Mix facilitates quantifying small differences in target amount between samples. For example, the amplification plot in the figure below shows a clear, statistically significant discrimination down to 1.33 fold differences between samples of RNase P gene with 99.7% confidence.
