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.
- Data analysis varies depending on the instrument used. Please refer to your instrument user guide for information.
