QUALITY CERTIFICATION / COMPLIANCE
EN ISO 13485 for the scope of design and development, production, marketing and distribution of molecular biology products, proteins and reagents for in-vitro diagnostics.
EN ISO 9001 for the scope of design and development, production, marketing and distribution of molecular biology products, proteins and reagents.
biotechrabbit has always been committed to highest quality standards for development, production and quality control. The ISO 13495 and ISO 9001 certifications validate to our customers that biotechrabbit products are manufactured and distributed according to these high quality levels.
The ISO 13485 certification was driven by our relationships to in-vitro diagnostics companies who are using biotechrabbit enzymes and reagents to manufacture diagnostic test kits. The quality management according to ISO 9001 covers the broader product range of our portfolio, assuring end customers and distribution partners our reliable and effective quality processes.
KIT COMPONENTS
Component: Primer Mix (Reverse and Forward) (Volume: Variable ; Final concentration: 100–400 nM)
Note: Too high primer concentrations result in unspecific amplification and should be avoided.
Component: Template RNA (Volume: Variable ; Final concentration: 0.01 pg to 1 µg)
Note: Use 1 pg – 1 µg Total RNA, or >0.01 pg mRNA
Component: CAPITAL qPCR Green Mix (1step), 4× (Volume: 5 µl ; Final concentration: 1×)
Component: RTase with RNase Inhibitor, 20× (Volume: 1 µl ; Final concentration: 1×)
Component: Nuclease free water (Volume: Variable ; Final concentration: )
Total volume: 20 µl
Gently mix the reactions without creating bubbles (do not vortex). Bubbles will interfere with fluorescence detection. Place the reaction into the PCR cycler.
INCLUDED COMPONENTS
CAPITAL qPCR Green Mix (1step) (Composition: Optimized 4× qPCR Green Master Mix for One Step qRT-PCR)
LRox / HRox mix (Composition: Rox incorporated in the mix in low / high concentration )
RTase with RNase Inhibitor (Composition: Proprietary 20× Reverse transcriptase in a mix with efficient Ribonuclease Inhibitor)
FUNCTIONAL ASSAY
Mix tested functionally in QRT-PCR.
BASIC PROTOCOL
Keep the master mix protected from light until you use it.
Aliquot the master mix to minimize freeze-thaw cycles and light exposure.
Thaw on ice and mix very well all reagents. Assemble and keep all reactions on ice.
Use only high quality optically clear reaction plates and seals designed for fluorescence applications.
Do not use corner wells or use a more robust seal.
Reserve plate positions for positive (control DNA) and negative (water or buffer) controls.
First pipette the primer mixture, then add the template and last the Master Mix.
Before preparing mixes, calculate the volume needed according to the reaction number plus one extra.
To have a better correlation, run the reactions in triplets.
CYCLING PROGRAM
Step: Reverse Transcription (Temperature: 50°C ; Time: 10 min ; Cycles: 1)
Step: Initial activation (Temperature: 95°C ; Time: 3 min ; Cycles: 1)
Step: Denaturation (Temperature: 95°C ; Time: 10 s ; Cycles: 40-45)
Step: Annealing/Extension* (Temperature: (60-68°C) ; Time: 30 s ; Cycles: )
*Recommended annealing/extension temperature is primer Tm +2°C. Use gradient PCR to optimize the annealing temperature. Do not use temperatures below 60°C. Do not exceed 30 seconds.
For melt analysis refer to instrument instructions.
