Applied Biosystems™ TaqMan™ Environmental Master Mix 2.0 is an advanced 2X qPCR master mix formulated specifically for accurate and reliable real-time PCR-based pathogen detection in environmental and food samples that often contain high levels of inhibitors. With optimized enzyme performance and ROX™ passive reference dye, this master mix provides exceptional sensitivity for low copy number targets, multiplex PCR, and quantification of viral and bacterial genetic material in challenging matrices.
Key Features
- Optimized for Inhibitor-Rich Samples – Delivers consistent, high-performance amplification even in complex environmental or food-derived samples.
- Ultra-Pure Enzyme System – Contains AmpliTaq Gold™ DNA Polymerase, UP (Ultra Pure) for superior specificity and low background signal.
- Built-In Hot Start Activation – Enables convenient room-temperature setup with enzyme activation during thermal cycling, minimizing non-specific amplification.
- Integrated ROX™ Reference Dye – Ensures precise fluorescence normalization and accurate quantification across qPCR platforms.
- High Sensitivity and Dynamic Range – Detects low copy number targets and supports multiplex assays with minimal cross-reactivity.
- Stable for High-Throughput Applications – Formulated for robustness and reproducibility in automated or large-scale workflows.
- Flexible Compatibility – Validated for use with Applied Biosystems™ 7000, 7300, 7500, 7500 Fast, 7900HT, and StepOne™ Real-Time PCR Systems.
Applications
- Quantitative pathogen detection in environmental monitoring
- Food safety testing for microbial contamination
- Viral and bacterial load quantification
- Gene expression and genotyping in complex matrices
- Water quality analysis and public health surveillance
- Research-based biosurveillance and molecular epidemiology
