Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ Fast Universal PCR Master Mix (2X), no AmpErase™ UNG
Description
Requires
Template and primers
- Results in 40 minutes for 40 cycles of PCR in a 20 μL reaction volume when using the Applied Biosystems 7900HT and Fast 7500 Fast real-time PCR systems
- The optimized formulation contains AmpliTaq Fast DNA Polymerase, UP, a highly purified DNA polymerase designed to allow instant hot start, minimizing non-specific product formation and allowing room temperature reaction setup
- A proprietary ROX dye serves as a passive internal reference to normalize non-PCR-related fluorescence fluctuations, for superb precision on Applied Biosystems real-time PCR instruments
- Contains everything needed for TaqMan-based qPCR amplification and detection in a single-tube format
- TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix contains all of the components, excluding the template and primers, for superior real-time qPCR
- Compatible with TaqMan Gene Expression assays
- Store at 2°C to 8°C

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
For optimal results, we recommend to run the reaction plate right after setting up the reaction. If a reaction plate cannot be run within 2 hours of completing the reaction setup, then freeze/refrigerate the reaction plate until it can be loaded and run on the fast PCR instrument platform.
The TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix is provided without any UNG and you should add in AmpEraseUNG to reactions separately, with the addition of an initial 2 minute cycling step at 50º C. If you prefer to have a master mix with the UNG pre-added, please use TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix.
We recommend a storage temperature of 4C and the shelf life is 9 months from the manufacturing date.
TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix is recommended for two-step RT-PCR, but for one-step reactions, we recommend using TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step Master Mix as the preferred reagent.
The hot-start DNA polymerase enzyme system in the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix does not require an activation step, and can be activated with significantly shorter hold times for the thermal cycling stages of PCR, thereby minimizing PCR run time. For more information on using this reagent, please consult the TaqMan Fast Universal PCR Master Mix (2X) protocol.
