<b>PCR with Taq Mastermix</b>


Source: Promega Usage Information for the PCR Master Mix (containing Taq Polymerase)

PCR Master Mix has been optimized for use in routine PCR reactions for amplifying DNA template in the range of 0.2-0kb


Protocol:

Thaw the PCR Master Mix at room temperature. Vortex the Master Mix and then spin it briefly in a microcentrifuge to collect the material in the bottom of the tube.


In a sterile, nuclease free PCR-tube mix following components for a 100µl reaction volume:

Guidelines for Amplification by PCR

:A. Denaturation:
::initial: 95°C 2'
::subsequent: 30'' - 1'
:B. Annealing:
::53°C 30'' - 1'
:C. Extension
::72°C 1'/kb of DNA to be amplified
::final: 5'
:D. Refrigeration
::4°C (our thermo cycler can just go down to 12°C)
:E.Cycle Number
::25-30 cycles
