Uncomparable Sensitivity - reproducible detection of low-copy number templates
Broad Dynamic Range - up to eight orders of magnitude starting even from a single copy of the target gene
Description: DyNAmo™ SYBR® Green qPCR Kit is a ready-to-use 2X master mix for sensitive, quantitative real-time PCR. The master mix contains a modified Thermus brockianus DNA polymerase and all the other reagents needed for qPCR. Only template DNA and PCR primers need to be added by the user. The modified DNA polymerase in this kit incorporates a non-specific DNA binding domain that lends physical stability to the polymerase-DNA complex. If a hot start polymerase is preferred, the DyNAmo HS SYBR Green qPCR Kit is the recommended choice.
In DyNAmo SYBR Green qPCR Kit with ROX Passive Reference Dye the ROX Passive Reference Dye is supplied with the kit in a separate tube. This kit is recommended for instruments that require ROX normalization.
Sensitivity, reproducibility and speed: Amplification curves below show clearly that lower copy number detection and earlier C(t)-values are obtained with the DyNAmo SYBR Green qPCR Kit. Signal level is also considerably higher and reaction times are substantially reduced when using the DyNAmo SYBR Green qPCR Kit.
Figures 1a and 2a: Amplification plot showing the linearity of the 10-fold dilutions of template as cycle numbers vs. fluorescence. Comparison of Finnzymes DyNAmo SYBR Green qPCR Kit (1) and a qPCR kit from a leading supplier (2). A 221 bp PCR product was amplified from a plasmid containing a fragment of a human gene. Reactions were set up on the DNA Engine Opticon system (MJ Research, Inc) according to suppliers instructions. Reaction volumes of 20 �l were used with starting template copy number ranging from 1 to 1,000,000 copies. Figures 1b,2b: Standard curves generated from C(t) values. The curves can be used for measuring unknown amounts of sample target (the same target as used in standards). Advantages:
Sensitivity: Optimized 2X master mix allows reproducible detection of low-copy number templates.
Speed: More efficient amplification coupled with increased polymerase processivity results in earlier C(t)s and shorter overall qPCR reaction times. (See figures 1 and 2) (Threshold cycle, C(t), is the cycle at which the fluorescence reaches the threshold level. The threshold level is set manually or calculated automatically.)
Convenience: 2X master mix, one tube only. In F-400RS/L ROX is provided in a separate vial.
Broad dynamic range: DyNAmo SYBR Green qPCR Kit detects as few as one copy of the target gene and achieves a dynamic range of up to eight orders of magnitude.
