Mix for probes for RT-qPCR
Real-time quantitative RT-PCR based on fluorescent probes relies on the specific detection of a sequence of a desired PCR product. Unlike methods based on SYBR green that detect all double-stranded DNAs, quantitative PCR using probes uses a fluorescently labeled specific probe, resulting in increased specificity and sensitivity. In addition, a variety of fluorescent dyes are available so that several primers can be used to simultaneously amplify many sequences.
Quantitative RT-PCR using fluorescent probes is therefore ideal for high-throughput studies. The ready-to-use mixes contain all the necessary components for qPCR, simply add fluorescent detection probes, primers and DNA to be amplified.
Many fluorescent sources based on primers and probes for qPCR have been designed, including:
- Hydrolysis Probes (TaqMan)
- Molecular markers
- Dual Hybridization Probes (FRET)
- Eclipse Probes
- Amplifluor assays
