PowerUp™ SYBR™ Green Master Mix is a universal 2X qPCR master mix designed for high specificity, enhanced reproducibility, and superior performance across a wide range of gene expression studies. It features Dual-Lock™ hot-start Taq DNA polymerase and heat-labile UDG for carryover prevention. Its consistent performance allows reaction setup in advance (up to 72 hours before cycling), making it ideal for high-throughput and automated workflows.
Key Features
- ✅ Dual hot-start technology (antibody and chemical modifications) provides precise control and prevents premature polymerase activity
- ✅ Compatible with fast and standard cycling protocols
- ✅ Includes ROX passive reference dye for instrument normalization
- ✅ Contains UNG (UDG) and dUTP to prevent carryover contamination
- ✅ Demonstrated tight CT reproducibility across 6-log dynamic range
- ✅ Validated for use with Applied Biosystems, Bio-Rad, Roche, and Agilent qPCR instruments
Use Cases
🧬 Gene Expression Analysis
- Accurate quantification of target genes in various tissue types
🦠 Pathogen Detection / Viral Load Quantification
- Reliable Ct values over a wide input range, especially useful in diagnostic research settings
🧪 Low-Copy Target Detection
- Enhanced specificity minimizes background signal, critical for detecting rare transcripts
📦 High-Throughput Screening
- Pre-assembled reactions are stable for up to 72 hours, allowing batch setup and automation
