Product Usage Instructions

Program Setup

  1. Program your real-time PCR instrument before setting up the PCR reactions.
    • Select   the following channels: FAM (MON810) and VIC/HEX (Internal Control).

Data Interpretation

  1. Verify results of positive (Control Template) and negative (H2O) controls before interpreting sample results.
  2. Always compare samples to positive and negative controls. Review data from each channel and interpret results as described in the table provided.

Preparation of the PCR Mix

  1. Take appropriate precautions to prevent contamination, e.g., by using filter tips and wearing gloves.
  2. Thaw reagents, mix (do not vortex!) and briefly spin vials before opening.
  3. Prepare PCR mix for each reaction in a suitable tube, ensuring cover pipetting loss.
  4. Mix carefully but thoroughly by pipetting up and down.
  5. Add PCR mix, samples, and controls to the designated tubes.
  6. Carefully seal strips/plates and briefly spin them in a suitable centrifuge.
  7. Start the real-time PCR run following the cycle samples as described in the manual.

PREPARATION OF THE PCR MIX

  • Take appropriate precautions to prevent contamination, e.g., using filter tips and gloves.
  • Thaw reagents, mix (do not vortex!), and briefly spin vials before opening.
  1. PREPARE PCR MIX
    • Add 12.5 µL Master Mix (2XM) , for each reaction to 4.0 μL Primer/Probe Mix (P) and a suitable tube.
    • 3.5 μL PCR-grade H2O (not included) (n samples + 2 controls + at least one additional reaction to cover pipetting loss).
    • Mix carefully but thoroughly by pipetting up and down.
  2. ADD PCR MIX
    • Pipette 20 µL of prepared PCR mix into each strip or plate well.
  3. ADD SAMPLES AND CONTROLS
    • Pipette 5 µL of samples, negative control (PCR-grade H2O), or Control Template (C) into respective wells.
  4. SEAL
    • Carefully seal strips/plates.
  5. CENTRIFUGE
    • Briefl y spin strips/plate in a suitable centrifuge.
  6. START REAL-TIME PCR RUN
    • Cycle samples as described above.
