Suggested Protocol for PCR Using AffiTaq® Hot Start - With Buffer - With MgCl2 - Without dNTP

Materials Provided:

  • AffiTaq® Hot Start DNA Polymerase (5 U/μL)
  • AffiTaq® Buffer (10X)
  • AffiTaq® MgCl2 (25mM)
  • AffiTaq® dNTPs

Materials Required but not provided:

  • Primer pairs specific to the target DNA sequence (25)
  • Template DNA
  • PCR tubes/strips and PCR machine
  • Sterile, nuclease-free water
  • PCR-grade pipettes and tips

Protocol:

Preparation:

  1. Thaw the AffiTaq® Hot Start DNA Polymerase set components on ice.

  2. Prepare a master mix for each PCR reaction as follows:

    • AffiTaq® Hot Start DNA Polymerase (5 U/μl)
    • AffiTaq® Buffer (10X)
    • AffiTaq® dNTPs
    • MgCl2 (if not included in the buffer, add as specified in the product instructions)
    • Sterile, nuclease-free water


PCR Reaction Setup:

  1. Set up the PCR reaction tubes/strips on ice.
  2. Add the following components to each PCR tube:
Components Concentration Volume per Reaction Final Concentration
AffiTaq® Buffer - dNTP free & Mg2+ free 10X 5 μL 1X
AffiTaq® dNTPs 10 mM 1 μL 200 μM
AffiTaq® MgCl2 25mM 2 to 8 μL 1 to 4 mM
AffiTaq® Hot Start DNA Polymerase 5U/μL 0.25 to 0.5 μL 1.25 to 2.5 U
Primer Mix 25 2 μL 1X
Template - - Less than 1μg/Reaction
ddH2O - Adjust to 50 μL -
  1. Mix the contents gently by pipetting and briefly spin down the tubes to collect all the liquid at the bottom.

PCR Cycling Conditions:

  1. Start the PCR machine and set the following cycling parameters:

    • Initial Denaturation: 95°C for 2-5 minutes (1 cycle)
    • Denaturation: 95°C for 15-30 seconds
    • Annealing: [Optimal temperature]°C for 15-30 seconds
    • Extension: 72°C for [Extension time based on product guidelines] seconds
    • Final Extension: 72°C for 5-10 minutes (1 cycle)
    • Hold at 4-10°C
  2. Run the PCR according to the specified cycling parameters for the recommended number of cycles for your specific target.

Post-PCR Steps:

  1. Analyze the PCR products using agarose gel electrophoresis or other appropriate methods.
  2. Store the remaining PCR products at -20°C for further analysis or downstream applications.
