TaqMan™ DNA Template Reagents

The TaqMan™ DNA Template Reagents provide the necessary components to perform a standard-dilution series with the beta-actin gene using nucleic acid from human cells. TaqMan™ beta-actin Template Reagents can be used with TaqMan™ PCR Core Reagents or SYBR™ Green PCR Core Reagents for polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

• Pre-designed primers and TaqMan™ probe eliminate assay design.
• Rapid assay development guidelines can minimize optimization time.
• Separate components provide flexibility in assay set-up.

Comprehensive Guidelines Included
We have developed a comprehensive set of guidelines to ensure success when using Applied Biosystems™ Real-Time PCR reagents and instrumentation. These guidelines are simple and easy to follow. Many traditional variables, such as magnesium chloride concentration and the thermal cycling protocol itself, have been standardized, greatly reducing assay development time.

Normalization Built-In
All our Real-Time PCR reagent kits contain a passive internal reference to normalize non-PCR related fluorescence fluctuations. Normalizing with a passive internal reference minimizes well-to-well variability that can result from a variety of causes, such as pipetting errors and sample evaporation. The passive reference is also essential for accurate results when multiple probes (with different reporter dyes) are combined in a single tube.
