PowerTrack™ SYBR Green Master Mix is an optimized, ready-to-use 2X master mix for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) that delivers exceptional specificity, reproducibility, and visual confidence during setup. Designed to work across a broad range of primer sets and thermocyclers, it provides reliable amplification of DNA targets for applications such as gene expression analysis and virus detection.
With built-in visual indicators, optional yellow sample buffer, and UNG/dUTP system to prevent carryover contamination, PowerTrack Master Mix is an ideal choice for high-performance and high-throughput qPCR workflows.
Key Features
🎯 Optimized Performance & Versatility
- Broad compatibility with primer Tm and concentration ranges (300–800 nM)
- Works with standard or fast qPCR protocols
- Compatible with Applied Biosystems, Bio-Rad, Roche, and Agilent qPCR platforms
🧪 Built-In Visual Setup Verification
- Includes an inert blue dye in the master mix for better visibility during pipetting
- Optional yellow sample buffer causes a color shift from blue to green when added—providing visual confirmation of correct reaction setup
🔬 High Specificity and Sensitivity
- Hot-start Taq DNA Polymerase controlled by an antibody-mediated mechanism
- Minimizes non-specific amplification and primer-dimer formation
🔒 Carryover Contamination Control
- Formulated with UNG and dUTP to eliminate previously amplified products
- Reduces risk of false positives in high-throughput or clinical research labs
📈 Reliable Results Across Applications
- Linear amplification across a broad dynamic range
-
Suitable for:
- Gene expression analysis
