The Maxima™ SYBR® Green/Fluorescein qPCR Master Mix (2X) is a ready to use solution optimised for quantitative real time PCR and two-step real time RT-PCR on most real time PCR machines. The master mix includes Maxima™ hot start Taq DNA polymerase and dNTPs in an optimised PCR buffer. It contains SYBR® Green I dye and is supplemented with fluorescein passive reference dye. Fluorescein is included into the master mix to serve as an internal reference for normalisation
of the SYBR Green I fluorescent signal between different wells to compensate for any instrument or pipetting variation. dUTP is included in the mix for optional carryover contamination control using uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG)*. Maxima™ hot start Taq DNA polymerase in combination with the optimised buffer ensures PCR specificity and sensitivity. The SYBR® Green I intercalating dye allows for DNA detection and analysis without using sequence specific probes. The use of Maxima™ SYBR® Green/Fluorescein qPCR Master Mix in real time PCR ensures reproducible, sensitive and specific quantification of genomic, plasmid, viral and cDNA templates.

• Specificity – eliminates non specific amplification and formation of primer dimers
• Sensitivity – detects low copy number targets
• Wide linear range – accurate quantification across 9 orders of magnitude
• Can be used on most real time PCR instruments
• Ready to use

* UDG is not included in the master mix and must be purchased separately.
