Applied Biosystems™ Platinum™ Multiplex PCR Master Mix
Description
Includes
Platinum Multiplex PCR Master Mix, 2X; GC Enhancer
Platinum Multiplex PCR Master Mix is a high-specificity, high-throughput solution designed specifically for endpoint multiplex PCR and supports easy multiplexing with minimal optimization.
The performance of the Platinum Multiplex PCR Master Mix over a wide range of amplicon sizes permits the amplification of templates from 50 bp to 2.5 kb, greatly enhancing workflow flexibility. Coupled with its 20-plex capability and absence of primer dimers, it not only provides a high-throughput solution but also boasts high specificity through fewer non-specific primer binding events, resulting in less reaction and primer waste.
Features
- Amplifies up to 20 amplicons in a single reaction
- Amplifies products from 50 bp to 2.5 kb
- Performs multiplex PCR reactions with minimal optimization

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes, the Platinum Multiplex PCR master mix contains Platinum Taq DNA Polymerase that leaves A overhangs on PCR products.
With Platinum technology, anti-DNA polymerase antibodies bind to the enzyme until the denaturing step at 94 degrees C, when the antibodies degrade. The polymerase is now active and primer extension can occur. AccuPrime Taq combines Platinum Taq (Taq + Platinum antibodies) with proprietary thermostable AccuPrime accessory proteins. The 10X reaction buffer contains the accessory proteins which enhance specific primer-template hybridization during each cycle of PCR.
Yes, Platinum Multiplex PCR Master Mix contains Platinum Taq Polymerase that can incorporate dUTP and amplify uracil-containing templates.
