HOT FIREPol® Probe qPCR Mix Plus (ROX)

HOT FIREPol^® Probe qPCR Mix Plus (ROX) is optimized for real-time quantitative PCR assays and contains all the components necessary to perform qPCR, with the exception of template, primers, and probe.

The qPCR Mix contains optimized components and HOT FIREPol^® DNA Polymerase supplied in a proprietary reaction buffer that enables detection of low copy number targets. HOT FIREPol^® Probe qPCR Mix Plus (ROX) is optimized for DNA hydrolysis probes based on the 5´ flap endonuclease activity.

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 formed at low temperatures during qPCR setup.
