qPCR Protocol

Step 1: qPCR Reaction Setup
- Before preparing qPCR reactions, thoroughly mix the KAPA PROBE FAST Bio-Rad iCycler™ qPCR Master Mix (2X), template DNA, primers and probes.
-Calculate the required volumes of each component based on the following table:

Final Concentration 20μl rxn
PCR grade water up to 20μl As required
qPCR Master Mix (2X) 1X 10μl
Forward Primer (10μM) 200 nM 0.4μl
Reverse Primer (10μM) 200 nM 0.4μl
Template DNA (<20 ng/20μl rxn) Variable
ROX High/Low (optional) 0.4μl

Step 2: Plate Setup
- Transfer the appropriate volume of reaction mixture to each well of a PCR tube/plate. Reaction volumes may be scaled down from 20μl to 10μl if low volume tubes/plates are used.
- Cap or seal the reaction tube/plate and centrifuge briefly.

Step 3: Run the qPCR reaction
- If applicable, select fast mode on the instrument.
- Program the following cycling protocol:
  • Enzyme activation at 95 °C during 20 sec - 3 min (1 cycle)
  • Denature at 95 °C during 1 - 3 sec
  • Anneal/Extend/Acquire at 60 ºC≥ 20 sec
  • Dissociation according to instrument guidelines
  • Do 40 cycles of points 2 and 3.

Step 4: Analyze the results
- Data analysis varies depending on the instrument used. Please refer to your instrument user guide for information.
