PerfeCTa qPCR ToughMix is a 2X concentrated ready-to-use
reaction cocktail for PCR amplification of DNA templates that relieves several
types of PCR inhibition commonly encountered with crude extracts, environmental
specimens, plant tissues, animal tissues, and complex food matrices. This
robust real-time qPCR reagent provides maximum sensitivity and PCR efficiency
with a variety of fluorogenic probe chemistries, including TaqMan® hydrolysis
probes. The only user-supplied components are primers, probe(s), and DNA
template. Pre-blended with inert AccuVue plate loading dye to help minimize
pipette errors during setup and provides visual confirmation of thorough
mixing.
A key component of PerfeCTa qPCR ToughMix is an ultra pure,
highly processive thermostable DNA polymerase that is combined with high
avidity monoclonal antibodies. This proprietary polymerase mix is highly
resistant to PCR inhibitors and provides an extremely stringent automatic
hot-start allowing reaction assembly, and temporary storage, at room
temperature prior to PCR amplification. PerfeCTa qPCR ToughMix delivers
exceptional performance with either fast or conventional PCR cycling protocols.
UNG containing versions are blended with Uracil
N-glycosylase to eliminate potential post-PCR carryover contamination
associated with routine molecular testing.
