Supporting Data

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 1. Example of TaqMan PCR Positive result. Both PCR signals above the baseline from FAM and HEX channel indicate the successful PCR.

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 2. Example of TaqMan PCR Negative result. No target DNA was detected in FAM channel but amplification signal from HEX indicates the successful PCR.

TaqMan PCR Kit - Figure 3. Example of TaqMan PCR inhibition result. No signal from both FAM and HEX channel was detected. It is suggested to repeat the sample preparation using recommended kit for DNA purification.

Product Stability and Storage Conditions

All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival.
Once reconstituted, repeated thawing and freezing (>2 times) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.
Each kit is provided with 4 tubes of 2X PCR Master Mix and each tube is enough to run 25 reactions. It is not necessary to reconstitute all Master Mix tubes at once. The Master Mix tubes can be reconstituted as and when needed.
All kit components can be stored for 2 years after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
