Application-specific qPCR master mixes for optimal performance

Real-time PCR (qPCR) offers sensitivity, specificity, and wide dynamic range for detecting target nucleic acids, making it a useful and powerful technology for research applications that cover the spectrum of biology from basic research to translational medicine. Applied Biosystems has been at the forefront of PCR innovation for over 25 years, inventing and delivering best-in-class real-time PCR instruments, TaqMan Assays, and qPCR master mixes. 

 

To ensure the highest level of performance, we have optimized our qPCR master mixes for these popular real-time PCR applications: gene expression analysis, microRNA analysis, genetic variation, and microbial and pathogen detection. Find a recommended qPCR master mix based on application below.

Gene expression analysis

Gene expression analysis requires consistent, linear amplification across a wide range of target concentrations, and our solutions enable you to accurately quantify targets at very low and high levels.  Applied Biosystems real-time PCR master mixes for gene expression analysis are formulated to efficiently detect targets across a wide concentration range to ensure that you accurately capture as much data as possible. We offer both 1-step and 2-step TaqMan probe-based master mixes and SYBR Green master mixes.

Genotyping and genetic variation analysis

Genetic variation analysis of genomic DNA (gDNA) targets via real-time PCR requires a master mix that has the utmost specificity. Applied Biosystems TaqPath ProAmp Master Mix has been specifically formulated for genetic variation analysis, enabling differentiation down to a single nucleotide change, all the while providing you with accurate and reliable results.  Use TaqPath ProAmp Master mix for applications such as SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) genotyping and CNV (copy number variation) analysis.

Microbial and pathogen detection

We have deep expertise and many years of experience formulating Applied Biosystems TaqMan assays and master mixes for sensitive and specific detection of microbial and pathogen RNA and DNA targets in research, biopharma development, environmental monitoring, food safety, and more. Real-time PCR detection of microbial and pathogen targets requires exceptional sensitivity and accuracy, and we have master mixes that are designed specifically for this purpose.  

MicroRNA analysis

microRNAs (miRNA) are very small, single-stranded RNA molecules that can be expressed at very low levels which makes detecting them challenging.  Applied Biosystems TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix has been optimized for use with our TaqMan Advanced miRNA assays to deliver highly sensitive detection of miRNA targets across a wide concentration range.
