FAQ's of Thermo Fisher Scientific Invitrogen Platinum SuperFi II PCR Master Mix:
Q: How should I store Platinum SuperFi II PCR Master Mix for optimal performance?
A: Platinum SuperFi II PCR Master Mix must be stored at -20C to maintain enzyme activity and longevity. It is recommended to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as these can reduce performance and fidelity.
Q: What types of DNA samples are compatible with this master mix?
A: This master mix is suitable for various sample types, including genomic DNA, cDNA, plasmid DNA, and lambda DNA. Its robust formulation allows efficient amplification across a breadth of molecular biology protocols.
Q: When can I benefit from the hot-start feature of this PCR master mix?
A: The antibody-mediated hot-start feature prevents non-specific amplification and primer-dimer formation during reaction setup. This is particularly beneficial if you need improved specificity or are working with complex templates.
Q: Where can the Platinum SuperFi II PCR Master Mix be used in the laboratory?
A: Platinum SuperFi II PCR Master Mix is designed for laboratory use, ideal for applications such as gene cloning, site-directed mutagenesis, and sequencing, as well as gene expression research and other molecular diagnostics.
Q: What process should I follow to set up a PCR reaction using this master mix?
A: To set up a PCR reaction, simply combine the master mix with your template DNA and primers according to the recommended volumes for each reaction. Its 2X formulation means minimal pipetting steps, simplifying your workflow.
Q: How does the ultra-high fidelity of the Platinum SuperFi II benefit my experiments?
A: The superior fidelity-over 300 times greater than Taq polymerase-ensures accurate DNA amplification with minimal errors, which is essential for applications where sequence accuracy is critical, such as cloning and mutagenesis.
