TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix protocol on Bio-Rad CFX96™ or CFX384™ (Optional UNG step) https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/brochures/cms_087006.pdf Note: Use an anneal temperature appropriate for your assay or primer pair design
TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix: Reproducibility From dynamic range data with 4 replicates GAPDH GPR6 PPIA YWHAZ At high Ct’s detection is near single copy, therefore precision becomes less reliable. Cq < 32
TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix: Six log dynamic range GAPDH Dynamic range is likely wider, but didn’t run higher concentrations of cDNA PPIA YWHAZ
PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix An optional UNG treatment step at 50 ºC may be added at the start of the run. Use an annealing temperature appropriate for the primer pair. 50 ºC / 2 min (optional UNG step) 95 ºC / 2 min 95 ºC / 3 sec x40 cycles 60 ºC / 30 sec Melt curve
PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix: Dynamic Range Excellent efficiency and reproducibility Cq < 32
PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix: PGK1 R2 value of 99.9% shows excellent linearity over a wide input range Single peak showing high target specificity Steep curves show high efficiency
PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix: ARL1 R2 value of 99.8% shows excellent linearity over a wide input range Low peak (1 pm) is equivalent to the low plateau Single peak showing high target specificity Steep curves show high efficiency
A2M AOF1 ARL1 ADAM10 APOA1 C11orf30 PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix: Excellent Reproducibility, Six targets A2M AOF1 ARL1 ADAM10 APOA1 C11orf30
PowerUp™ SYBR Green Master Mix: Excellent Specificity – Dissociation Data APOA1 ARL1 C11orf30 A2M ADAM10 AOF1 No non-specific amplification or primer dimer
Conclusions and Next Steps Applied Biosystems™ consumables perform well on the Bio-Rad CFX™ (96 & 384 well platforms) TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays run with TaqMan® Fast Advanced Master Mix shows excellent reproducibility, dynamic range and equivalent results in singleplex vs duplex. PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix shows excellent reproducibility and sensitivity.
