Description
General description
JumpStart™ REDTaq® ReadyMix™PCR Reaction Mix is a prepared solution combining the performance benefits of hot start PCR with the dual convenience of Sigma′s ReadyMix and REDTaq. The Master mix includes Sigma′s JumpStart Taq DNA Polymerase, 99% pure deoxynucleotides, buffer, and an inert red dye in a 2× optimized reaction concentrate. Add 25 μL of the ReadyMix to primers, template, and water to a final reaction volume of 50 μL. JumpStart Taq antibody in the reaction mix inactivates the Taq DNA polymerase at room temperature. During the first denaturation step of PCR the complex dissociates and polymerase activity is fully restored. The inert red dye does not effect automated sequencing, restriction enzyme digestion, ligation, or other downstream manipulations. The PCR product is easily separated from the dye by standard purification methods if desired. The hot start mechanism allows for room temperature set up, making it the ideal for high throughput applications.
Application
Jumpstart™ REDTaq® ReadyMix™ Reaction Mix is used for direct DNA extraction and amplification using PCR. It has also been used for:
qualitative multiplex PCR
methylation-specific PCR (MSPCR)
PCR amplification of cDNA synthesized from total RNA
Features and Benefits
JumpStart™ REDTaq® DNA polymerase, an antibody inactivated hot start enzyme, is designed to minimize non-specific amplification while increasing target yield & specificity
JumpStart Taq DNA polymerase provides superior amplification regardless of template concentration
REDTaq JumpStart ReadyMix reduces pipetting steps and risk of contamination. The hot start mechanism allows for room temperature set up, making it the ideal for high throughput applications
Inert red dye allows for easy verification that reagent has been mixed properly
Other loading dyes are not required. Aliquots may be directly loaded onto an agarose gel after the reaction
Packaging
Default reaction volume is 50 μL
20RXN is packaged as 1 X 500 μL
100RXN is packaged as 1 X 2.5 mL
800RXN is packaged as 1 X 20 mL
Other Notes
For a typical PCR reaction, mix 25 μL of JumpStart™ REDTaq® ReadyMix™ with 25 μL of a mixture containing template DNA, primers, and water. Reaction volume can be scaled if desired.
One unit incorporates 10 nmol of total dNTPs into acid precipitable DNA in 30 min. at 74 °C.
