**********************
Thermo Scientific Luminaris Color HiGreen and Luminaris HiGreen qPCR Master Mixes are universal ready-to-use solutions optimized for qPCR and two-step RT-qPCR. The master mixes include Thermo Scientific Hot Start Taq DNA polymerase, uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) and dNTPs in an optimized PCR buffer. Only the template and primers need to be added. The SYBR Green I intercalating dye allows for DNA detection and analysis without using sequence-specific probes.

The Hot Start Taq DNA polymerase in combination with an optimized buffer ensures PCR specificity and sensitivity. dUTP and UDG are included in the mix for carry-over contamination control (see Reference 1). The Luminaris Color HiGreen qPCR Master Mixes are supplemented with an inert blue dye and a separate Yellow Sample Buffer that contains a yellow dye. The qPCR reaction mix containing both components is green.

The use of Luminaris Color HiGreen and Luminaris HiGreen qPCR Master Mixes in qPCR ensures reproducible, sensitive and specific quantification of genomic, plasmid, viral and cDNA templates. Individual formulations of Luminaris Color HiGreen and Luminaris HiGreen qPCR Master Mixes with ROX at different concentrations or fluorescein as passive reference dyes are available for most qPCR platforms (see Real-time PCR instrument compatibility chart).

Highlights

• Blue master mix and Yellow Sample Buffer for easy pipetting
• UDG in the master mix to prevent carry-over contamination
• Equal performance of blue and colorless master mixes
• Versions with premixed ROX or fluorescein for different real-time platforms
• Standard cycling protocols
• Excellent qPCR performance:
Specificity: Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase and the optimized buffer eliminate non-specific amplification and formation of primer dimers
Sensitivity: single copy detection
Wide linear range: accurate quantification across 9 orders of magnitude
Reproducibility and convenience: ready-to-use 2X master mix


Applications

• Gene expression analysis
• siRNA validation
• Genotyping
• Pathogen detection

Includes

Luminaris Color HiGreen Low ROX qPCR Master Mix (2X) includes Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase, UDG and dNTPs (also dUTP) in an optimized PCR buffer with a blue dye. The master mix contains low concentration of ROX passive reference dye for specific real-time platforms (see Real-Time PCR instrument compatibility chart) and is supplied with 40X Yellow Sample Buffer and nuclease-free water.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What DNA-binding dye is present in Luminaris Color HiGreen qPCR Master Mix?

Luminaris Color HiGreen master mixes contain SYBR Green I double-stranded DNA binding dye.

Does dUTP in Luminaris qPCR master mix influence qPCR efficiency?

Luminaris qPCR master mixes have all dTTP substituted with dUTP. dUTP presence does not influence the reaction speed and efficiency of the master mix. 100% substitution of dTTP with dUTP facilitates an efficient clearance of the contamination from previous PCR reactions.

What enzyme is used in Luminaris qPCR Master Mixes?

Luminaris qPCR master mixes contain Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase. This is a Taq DNA polymerase, which has been chemically modified by the addition of heat-labile groups to amino acid residues blocking enzyme activity. The Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase has ultra low residual activity until thermally activated. Therefore reactions can be assembled at room temperature with no risk for the extension of non-specifically annealed primers or primer dimers and providing higher specificity for DNA amplification. The enzyme is activated by 10 minutes incubation at 95 degrees C.

Can I prepare a qPCR plate in advance and store it for later use when using Luminaris qPCR Master Mixes?

When using a hot start polymerase it is not critical to start reactions immediately after setup. The Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase in Luminaris qPCR Master Mixes has ultra low residual activity until thermally activated. Therefore reactions can be assembled and stored at room temperature for up to 72 hours with no risk for the extension of non-specifically annealed primers or primer dimers.
