HOT FIREPol® EvaGreen® HRM Mix (no ROX)

High-Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis is a fast and cost-effective method for post-PCR analysis to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP genotyping), genetic mutations, and DNA sequence variations.

5x HOT FIREPol^® EvaGreen® HRM Mix is an optimized ready-to-use solution for HRM analysis, incorporating EvaGreen^® dye.

It comprises all the components necessary to perform qPCR and HRM Analysis: HOT FIREPol^® DNA Polymerase, ultrapure dNTPs, MgCl_2, and EvaGreen^® dye. The user simply needs to add water, template, and primers.

HOT FIREPol^® DNA Polymerase is activated by a 12 min incubation step at 95°C. This prevents the extension of non-specifically annealed primers and primer-dimers.

EvaGreen Dye

EvaGreen^® is a DNA-binding dye with many features that make it a superior alternative to SYBR^® Green I for qPCR. Apart from having similar spectra, EvaGreen^® has three important features that set it apart from SYBR^® Green I: EvaGreen^® has much less PCR inhibition, is an extremely stable dye and has been shown to be non-mutagenic and non-cytotoxic. EvaGreen^® is compatible with all common real-time PCR cyclers – simply select the standard settings for SYBR® Green or FAM!
