| Product Name | Antibody Hot-Start qPCR SYBR Green Master Mix (No ROX) |
| Catalog No. | RESK-0012 |
| Description | This product is a 2× premixed solution for real-time quantitative PCR amplification. It employs an antibody-based hot-start DNA polymerase: during the 95°C pre-denaturation step (30 sec), the anti-Taq antibody is inactivated, releasing Taq DNA polymerase activity. Antibody hot-start Taq effectively suppresses amplification caused by non-specific primer annealing. The formulation is optimized with factors that inhibit non-specific PCR amplification and boost amplification efficiency, making it well suited for low-concentration templates and enabling robust standard curves across a wide quantitative range. The mix contains hot-start Taq DNA polymerase, anti-Taq antibody, SYBR Green I, dNTPs, and Mg2+. Only template and primers need to be added to run real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, greatly simplifying the workflow and reducing the risk of contamination. |
| Intended Use | For dye-based (SYBR Green I) real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Suitable for amplification of low-concentration templates and for generating reliable standard curves over a wide quantitative range. |
| Principle / Technology | Antibody-mediated hot-start technology: the anti-Taq antibody blocks polymerase activity during reaction setup; heating at 95°C for 30 sec during pre-denaturation irreversibly inactivates the antibody and releases Taq DNA polymerase activity. This effectively suppresses amplification caused by non-specific primer annealing. The formulation also contains factors that inhibit non-specific PCR amplification and enhance amplification efficiency. |
| Detection Method | Fluorescent quantitative PCR (SYBR Green dye-based) |
| Sample Type | DNA or cDNA templates. A common input is cDNA reverse-transcribed from 500-1000 ng total RNA, diluted 10-fold, with 1 µL used per qPCR reaction. |
| Performance Range / Specifications | High specificity: antibody hot-start suppresses non-specific amplification. Suitable for amplification of low-concentration templates; reliable standard curves over a wide quantitative range. Recommended amplification length: 80-300 bp. |
| Sensitivity / LOD | Optimized for amplification of low-concentration templates; supports accurate quantification across a wide quantitative range. |
| Specificity | The antibody hot-start Taq polymerase effectively suppresses amplification resulting from non-specific primer annealing, delivering high reaction specificity. |
| Reaction Conditions / Protocol | Only template and primers need to be added to the 2× premix. Hot-start activation: 95°C for 30 sec (inactivates the anti-Taq antibody). Optimal template input should be determined empirically: dilute the template (generally 5-10 fold) and run a template gradient, selecting the input that gives a Ct value of 20-30. Recommended cycle number: generally 40; up to 45 for low-abundance targets. Recommended amplification length: 80-300 bp. For detailed cycling parameters, refer to the product manual. |

| Application Notes / Precautions | Determine optimal template input empirically: dilute the template DNA (generally 5-10 fold) and test a gradient, choosing the input that yields a Ct of 20-30. A common input is 1 µL of 10-fold-diluted cDNA reverse-transcribed from 500-1000 ng total RNA. Criteria for valid qPCR results: (1) standard curve with amplification efficiency of 90-110% (slope -3 to -3.5) and R²>0.98; (2) S-shaped amplification curve with Ct between 15 and 35, and negative control Ct>35 or no Ct; (3) a single peak in the melt curve. Ct values below 15 are not recommended because the fluorescence threshold is set at 10× the standard deviation of cycles 3-15. ROX is a passive reference dye that normalizes non-PCR-related fluorescence fluctuations and corrects pipetting or well-to-well variation to provide a stable baseline. Jagged amplification curves at plateau may result from low RNA purity (recommended OD260/OD280 = 1.8-2.0, OD260/OD230 > 2.0) or an uncalibrated instrument; increase template dilution, reprepare high-purity RNA, and calibrate the instrument regularly (generally once a year). If the amplification curve fails to reach plateau, possible causes include too little template (Ct around 35), too few cycles, or low reagent amplification efficiency; increase template input, raise cycle number (40, or 45 for low-abundance genes), or verify efficiency with a standard curve. A melt-curve peak with Tm below 80°C usually indicates primer dimers; increase the annealing temperature, raise template input, lower primer concentration, or redesign primers. For miRNA quantification (amplicons of 80-90 bp), peaks at 70-80°C are normal. Double peaks with both Tm values above 80°C suggest poor primer specificity, cross-contamination, or gDNA contamination; check primers by BLAST, work in a clean bench with fresh tips, and include a no-reverse-transcription control. A single but non-sharp peak may indicate non-specific products of similar size; a Tm span within 7°C is acceptable, or confirm a single band by high-resolution agarose gel electrophoresis. |
