MegaMix Gold RT-PCR Mastermix
The MegaMix Gold One-step RT-PCR kit contains all the components needed to perform RT-PCR swiftly and reliably. The kit contains all the components needed to perform RT-PCR swiftly and reliably. The kit ensures a highly specific and sensitive amplification, removing background and primer dimer formation. MegaMix Gold boasts excellent accuracy and produces A-tailed products suitable for ligating into TA cloning vectors.
MegaMix Gold One-step RT-PCR Kit contains all the components needed to perform RT-PCR swiftly and reliably.
The kit consists of 2X MegaMix Gold containing Hot Start Taq DNA polymerase, 200 μM dNTP and 3 mM MgCl2 (final concentrations) in Microzone’s proprietary enhancing buffer; 20X RTase/RI enzyme mix, optimised for amplifying low copy RNA targets; and Just Water, our molecular biology grade water. MegaMix Gold uses a superior sensitive hot-start DNA polymerase. The Taq polymerase becomes active upon heating at 95°C. This ensures a highly specific and sensitive amplification, removing background and primer dimer formation. MegaMix Gold boasts excellent accuracy and produces A-tailed products suitable for ligating into TA cloning vectors.
