Multiplex PCR is a method that enables amplification of two or more amplicons simultaneously in a single reaction tube/reaction. It is widely used in genotyping and different areas of DNA testing in research, forensic and diagnostic laboratories. Our Multiplex HS Mastermix (2X) is an optimized ready-to-use mixture for probe-based assays such as TaqMan®, Beacons and MGBs. It contains a modified fast HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase, dNTPs and MgCl₂ combined in an optimized buffer system for realtime PCR / qPCR applications except primers, probe and template DNA / cDNA.  The HotStart Taq Polymerase is based on the standard Taq DNA polymerase from Genaxxon inactivated by an specific antibody against Taq DNA polymerase which is activated by heat treatment. Thus, during setup and the first ramp of thermal cycling, the enzyme is not active and misprimed primers are not extended. The result is higher specificity, increased sensitivity and greater yields when compared to standard DNA polymerases, making this enzyme especially well-suited for multiplex PCR. - Amplification of multiple targets in a single tube- All-in-one master mix for convenient multiplexing- High specificity, sensitivity and product yield- Easy reaction setup at room temperature The Multiplex HS Master mix 2X is shipped in aliquots of 1mL.

The SNP Pol DNA polymerase > used for the SNP Pol 2X Mastermix has been specially designed for easy, reliable and rapid allele-specific discrimination, eg. CRISPR / Cas9 point mutations, for detecting incorrect CRISPR / Cas9 products, or validating sequencing results. The SNP Pol DNA polymerase distinguishes highly specific, whether a mismatch of the primer-template-complex is present or not. The mismatch (point mutation) must be at the 3 'end of the primer. Thus, mutant alleles can be distinguished exactly from wild-type alleles - without sequencing, since the polymerase simply does not amplify in the case of a mismatch. Just place your primer on the supposed point mutation (Important: The point mutation must be at the 3 'end) and the polymerase will detect a mismatch in this region with almost 100% accuracy: If the template base complementary to the 3' end of the primer shows the mutation and the primer does not, no amplification takes place - 100% certainty within a short time!The SNP Pol DNA polymerase can therefore be easily, time and cost-effectively used for the screening of point mutations. The variant SNP PolTaq DNA polymerase has 5'-3 'nuclease activity and can therefore be used for specific hydrolysi probes such as Taqman® probes or Molecular beacons. For more information on our SNP DNA polymerases and applications, read our blog now. DescriptionSNP Pol DNA Polymerase and SNP PolTaq Polymerase are  highly selective DNA polymerase for the detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. It was developed specifically for allele-specific discrimination, where a very high discrimination rate is required e.g., in allele-specific PCR (ASA; AS-PCR), allele-specific primer extension (AS-PEX), SNP analysis, genotyping or in methylation-specific PCRs (MSP). Many other DNA polymerases tolerate mismatched primer-template complexes and are therefor not suitable. The SNP Pol DNA polymerase, on the other hand, distinguishes these specifically (high discrimination) and supplies only PCR products with perfectly matching primer pairs! The Genaxxon SNP Pol and SNP PolTaq DNA polymerases differ up to 100% by means of allele-specific PCR between the two alleles and, after a simple qPCR, give a clear result as to which allele is present. Thus, the principly great potential of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology can be used for human medicine and plant biotechnology especially together with the SNP PolTaq or SNP Pol DNA polymerase. Allele-specific PCR can be used to quantify the mutation rate in a pool or background of wild-type sequences. The verification of mutation frequencies determined by NGS can also be verified by means of allele-specific PCR and SNP Pol DNA polymerase. The SNP PolTaq DNA polymerase is very suitable for the analysis of liquid biopsy samples. With SNP PolTaq, the presence and frequency of cancer mutations can be analyzed and quantified very well. Picture below: Application note SNP Pol DNA Polymerase   We recommend short amplicon length (about 60-200 bp) for best results, but also longer amplicon lengths are possible. The addition of additional Magnesium (+0.5 - 1.5mM) might be needed in case of longer amplicons >500 bp.Trouble shooting: No bands after PCR of 30 cycles! Optimisation procedure for missing or weak bands.Annealing temperature is too low! Attention: The SNP Pol is an aptamer inhibited DNA polymerase. The aptamer oligo used reversibly inhibits the polymerase at temperatures <55°C! Therefore, the primers should ideally have an annealing temperature of >57°C. - realtime PCR approach - Check the dNTP concentration. This should be between 200 and 300µM (in the PCR). - Increase the number of cycles (at least 35, preferably equal to 40) Test optimisation - number of cyclesIn endpoint detection, a cycle count of 30 is not always sufficient to generate a clearly visible band. For example, with less than 200 DNA copies as a starting value. The test should therefore be run using real-time PCR, or five parallel PCRs should be used, one of which is taken from the PCR device after each of five different cycles (example below). Endpoint detection: Set up five identical PCR reactions in parallel using the SNP Pol DNA polymerase.

The SNP PolTaq DNA polymerase used for the SNP PolTaq 2X Master Mix has been specially designed for easy, reliable and rapid allele-specific discrimination, eg. CRISPR / Cas9 point mutations, for detecting incorrect CRISPR / Cas9 products, or validating sequencing results. The SNP PolTaq DNA polymerase distinguishes highly specific, whether a mismatch of the primer-template-complex is present or not. The mismatch (point mutation) must be at the 3 'end of the primer. Thus, mutant alleles can be distinguished exactly from wild-type alleles - without sequencing, since the polymerase simply does not amplify in the case of a mismatch. Just place your primer on the supposed point mutation (Important: The point mutation must be at the 3 'end) and the polymerase will detect a mismatch in this region with almost 100% accuracy: If the template base complementary to the 3' end of the primer shows the mutation and the primer does not, no amplification takes place - 100% certainty within a short time!The SNP PolTaq DNA polymerase can therefore be easily, time and cost-effectively used for the screening of point mutations. The SNP PolTaq DNA polymerase has 5'-3 'nuclease activity and can therefore be used for specific hydrolysi probes such as Taqman® probes or Molecular beacons. For more information on our SNP DNA polymerases and applications, read our blog now. DescriptionSNP PolTaq DNA polymerase is a highly selective DNA polymerase for the detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms. It was developed specifically for allele-specific discrimination, where a very high discrimination rate is required e.g., in allele-specific PCR (ASA; AS-PCR), allele-specific primer extension (AS-PEX), SNP analysis, genotyping or in methylation-specific PCRs (MSP). Many other DNA polymerases tolerate mismatched primer-template complexes and are therefor not suitable. The SNP PolTaq DNA polymerase, on the other hand, distinguishes these specifically (high discrimination) and supplies only PCR products with perfectly matching primer pairs! The Genaxxon SNP Pol and SNP PolTaq DNA polymerases differ up to 100% by means of allele-specific PCR between the two alleles and, after a simple qPCR, give a clear result as to which allele is present. Thus, the principly great potential of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology can be used for human medicine and plant biotechnology especially together with the SNP PolTaq or SNP Pol DNA polymerase. Allele-specific PCR can be used to quantify the mutation rate in a pool or background of wild-type sequences. The verification of mutation frequencies determined by NGS can also be verified by means of allele-specific PCR and SNP Pol DNA polymerase. The SNP PolTaq DNA polymerase is very suitable for the analysis of liquid biopsy samples. With SNP PolTaq, the presence and frequency of cancer mutations can be analyzed and quantified very well. Picture below: Application note SNP Pol DNA Polymerase   We recommend short amplicon length (about 60-200 bp) for best results, but also longer amplicon lengths are possible. The addition of additional Magnesium (+0.5 - 1.5mM) might be needed in case of longer amplicons >500 bp.Trouble shooting: No bands after PCR of 30 cycles! Optimisation procedure for missing or weak bands.Annealing temperature is too low! Attention: The SNP PolTaq is an aptamer inhibited DNA polymerase. The aptamer oligo used reversibly inhibits the polymerase at temperatures <55°C! Therefore, the primers should ideally have an annealing temperature of >57°C. - realtime PCR approach - Check the dNTP concentration. This should be between 200 and 300µM (in the PCR). - Increase the number of cycles (at least 35, preferably equal to 40) Test optimisation - number of cyclesIn endpoint detection, a cycle count of 30 is not always sufficient to generate a clearly visible band. For example, with less than 200 DNA copies as a starting value. The test should therefore be run using real-time PCR, or five parallel PCRs should be used, one of which is taken from the PCR device after each of five different cycles (example below). Endpoint detection: Set up five identical PCR reactions in parallel using the SNP Pol DNA polymerase. Remove one of the PCR tubes from the cycler at each of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 cycles and apply all five reactions to an agarose gel at the end. This makes it easy to recognise which is the optimum number of cycles in the PCR for the given application (starting material, target, primer). SNP Pol PCR with cell lysates Animal cells and E.coli can be used directly for PCR with the SNP Pol DNA polymerase!
