Plain PP Master Mix

Plain PP Master Mix is similar to PPP Master Mixes (Cat. No. P124 - P126) but does not contain a dye. Therefore, the Plain PP master Mix  is extraordinarily suitable for routine PCR analysis by automatic detectors (capillary chromatography, real-time PCR and others). The mix contains Taq DNA polymerase, deoxyribonucleotides, reaction buffer components and additives. Samples for PCR are prepared by simple mixing Plain PP Master Mix with target specific oligonucleotide primers, template DNA and water. For qPCR analysis it is necessary to add fluorescent DNA-binding dye (such as SYBR Green I) or TaqMan probes. For gel electrophoresis analysis it is recommended to add a loading buffer (Cat. No P048, P062, P064 or P066).

Product description

Plain PP Master Mix is similar to PPP Master Mixes (Cat. No. P124 - P126) but does not contain a dye. Therefore, the Plain PP master Mix  is extraordinarily suitable for routine PCR analysis by automatic detectors (capillary chromatography, real-time PCR and others).

Samples for PCR are prepared by simple mixing Plain PP Master Mix with target specific oligonucleotide primers, template DNA and water. For qPCR analysis it is necessary to add fluorescent DNA-binding dye (such as SYBR Green I) or TaqMan probes.
For gel electrophoresis analysis it is recommended to add a loading buffer (Cat. No P048, P062, P064 or P066).

Rapid samples preparation

  • All components of the Plain PP Master Mix are 2x concentrated, which facilitates rapid preparation of the PCR samples. The samples are prepared by mixing an aliquot of Plain PP Master Mix with oligonucleotide primers, template DNA, H2O (included) and if required fluorescent dye (e.g SYBR Green I).
  • Plain PP Master Mix is especially useful for routine analysis of large sample numbers. To 0.5 ml of the Master Mix in original tube are added primers, PCR H2O and if required DNA dye, and the Mix is stored at -20 ± 5°C. Immediately before PCR, the Mix is thawed, aliquoted and DNA templates are added.

Optimized reaction buffer

  • Reaction buffer in the Plain PP Master Mix enhances specificity and efficiency of PCR; it contains MgCl2 at a concentration optimized for majority of PCR.
  • Stabilizers present in the Mix allow its storage for short periods at 4°C ± 3°C (days).
