Product Information
Description
Multiplex PCR can simultaneously detect two or more products in a single reaction. There is an increasing demand for multiplex PCR techniques in assays conducted in research laboratories and forensic/diagnostic genotyping assays (1,2). Multiplex PCR can also be used for semi-quantitative gene expression analysis using cDNA templates. The NEB Multiplex PCR 5X Master Mix is an easy-to-use solution featuring high quality recombinant Taq DNA Polymerase. The mix is optimized for high yield and robust performance. Its performance is illustrated in a 15-plex PCR using human genomic DNA (Figure 1) and an 8-plex PCR using cDNA products as templates (Figure 2). The 5X formulation allows the user maximal input of primers, template DNAs and additional components.

Features
- Multiplex with Taq
Product Notes
- Use high quality primers (desalted or HPLC purified).
- Accurately quantify and adjust primer concentrations to 50 μM in 0.5X TE Buffer.
- Individually test the PCR primer pairs, preferentially in a temperature-gradient PCR machine.
- Mix all primers equally at 1 μM in 0.5X TE buffer.
- Keep at -20°C for long term storage.
- Multiplex PCR 5X Master Mix is stable for 15 freeze-thaw cycles when stored at -20°C.
- Multiplex PCR 5X Master Mix is stable at 4°C for three months. So, for frequent use, an aliquot may be kept at 4°C.
