Features

■ Good stability: Unique formula makes the whole reaction system very stable. The system contains components required for effective PCR amplification, such as thermostable DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and buffer solution, as well as a variety of special stabilizers, which greatly increase the stability of the polymerase and dNTP at normal temperature and 4℃ .
■ Fast and simple: Simple and quick operation. Simply mix the two components in proportion and then add templates and primers to set up the reaction, avoiding the tedious steps of adding various PCR reaction components one by one. Minimize sampling errors and cross contamination, with little error between different batches, and can be used in semi-quantitative experiments.
■ Wide application and high sensitivity.
■ Each reaction system contains dyes, and electrophoresis can be performed directly after PCR steps so that the procedure is fast and labor-saving.

FAQ

Q: No amplification bands

A-1  Template

■ The template contains protein impurities or Taq inhibitors, etc. ——Purify DNA template, remove protein impurities or extract template DNA with purification kits.

■ The denaturation of template is not complete ——Appropriately increase denaturation temperature and prolong denaturation time.

■ Template degradation ——Re-prepare the template.

A-2  Primer

■ Poor quality of primers ——Re-synthesize the primer.

■ Primer degradation ——Aliquot the high concentration primers into small volume for preservation. Avoid multiple freezing and thawing or long-term 4°C cryopreserved.

■ Inproper design of primers (e.g. primer length not sufficient, dimer formed between primers, etc.) -Redesign primers (avoid formation of primer dimer and secondary structure)

A-3   Mg2+concentration

■ Mg2+ concentration is too low ——Properly increase Mg2+ concentration: Optimize the Mg2+ concentration by a series of reactions from 1 mM to 3 mM with an interval of 0.5 mM to determine the optimal Mg2+ concentration for each template and primer.

A-4   Annealing temperature

■ The high annealing temperature affects the binding of primer and template. ——Reduce the annealing temperature and optimize the condition with a gradient of 2°C.

A-5   Extension time

■ Short extension time——Increase extension time.

Q: False positive

Phenomena: Negative samples also show the target sequence bands.

A-1   Contamination of PCR

■ Cross contamination of target sequence or amplification products ——Carefully not to pipet the sample containing target sequence in the negative sample or spill them out of the centrifuge tube. The reagents or equipment should be autoclaved to eliminate existing nucleic acids, and the existence of contamination should be determined through negative control experiments.

■ Reagent contamination ——Aliquot the reagents and store at low temperature.

A-2   Primer

■ Mg2+ concentration is too low ——Properly increase Mg2+ concentration: Optimize the Mg2+ concentration by a series of reactions from 1 mM to 3 mM with an interval of 0.5 mM to determine the optimal Mg2+ concentration for each template and primer.

■ Improper primer design, and the target sequence has homology with the non-target sequence. ——Re-design primers.

Q: Non-specific amplification

Phenomena: The PCR amplification bands are inconsistent with the expected size, either large or small, or sometimes both specific amplification bands and non-specific amplification bands occur.

A-1  Primer

■ Poor primer specificity

——Re-design primer.

■ The primer concentration is too high ——Properly increase the denaturation temperature and prolong denaturation time.

A-2   Mg2+ concentration

■ The Mg2+ concentration is too high ——Properly reduce the Mg2+ concentration: Optimize the Mg2+ concentration by a series of reactions from 1 mM to 3 mM with an interval of 0.5 mM to determine the optimal Mg2+ concentration for each template and primer.

A-3   Thermostable polymerase

■ Excessive enzyme amount ——Reduce enzyme amount appropriately at intervals of 0.5 U.

A-4   Annealing temperature

■ The annealing temperature is too low ——Appropriately increase the annealing temperature or adopt the two-stage annealing method

A-5   PCR cycles

■ Too many PCR cycles ——Reduce the number of PCR cycles.

Q: Patchy or smear bands

A-1  Primer ——Poor specificity ——Re-design the primer, change the position and length of the primer to enhance its specificity; or perform nested PCR.

A-2  Template DNA

——The template is not pure ——Purify the template or extract DNA with purification kits.

A-3  Mg2+ concentration

——Mg2+ concentration is too high ——Properly reduce Mg2+ concentration: Optimize the Mg2+ concentration by a series of reactions from 1 mM to 3 mM with an interval of 0.5 mM to determine the optimal Mg2+ concentration for each template and primer.

Q: How to amplify long fragments?

The first step is to choose the appropriate polymerase. Regular Taq polymerase cannot proofread due to lack of 3’-5’ exonuclease activity, and mismatch will greatly reduce the extension efficiency of fragments. Therefore, regular Taq polymerase cannot effectively amplify target fragments larger than 5 kb. Taq polymerase with special modification or other high fidelity polymerase should be selected to improve extension efficiency and meet the needs of long fragment amplification. In addition, the amplification of long fragments also requires corresponding adjustment of primer design, denaturation time, extension time, buffer pH, etc. Usually, primers with 18-24 bp can lead to better yield. In order to prevent template damage, the denaturation time at 94°C should be reduced to 30 sec or less per cycle, and the time to rise temperature to 94°C before amplification should be less than 1 min. Moreover, setting the extension temperature at about 68°C and designing the extension time according to the rate of 1 kb/min can ensure effective amplification of long fragments.

Q: How to improve the amplification fidelity of PCR?

The error rate of PCR amplification can be reduced by using various DNA polymerases with high fidelity. Among all the Taq DNA polymerases found so far, Pfu enzyme has the lowest error rate and the highest fidelity (see attached table). In addition to enzyme selection, researchers can further reduce PCR mutation rate by optimizing reaction conditions, including optimizing buffer composition, concentration of thermostable polymerase and optimizing PCR cycle number.
