SensiFAST Probe One-Step Direct SuperMix

A highly inhibitor-resistant RT-qPCR 4x master mix that provides quick and easy extraction and amplification of DNA from a variety of tissue types. The supermix maximizes

SensiFAST Probe One-Step Direct SuperMix

Robust: optimized proprietary buffer system designed for overcoming common PCR inhibitors in crude lysate or unprocessed blood, tissue and plant samples

Specific: antibody-mediated hot-start DNA polymerase minimizes non-specific amplification for improved assay sensitivity and reliability

Sensitive: reliable quantification of low abundance targets and scarce samples

Reproducible: consistent results between technical replicates for increased confidence in results

Fast: delivers reproducible, multiplex accurate assay results in as little as 30 minutes

Fig. 1 Amplification with stool extract

Amplification profiles of Rotavirus A (an RNA virus) in a multiplex reaction with increasing levels of stool extract, 5% (yellow), 10% (red) and 20% (black) stool extract. The results demonstrate the multiplexing capability SensiFAST Probe One-Step Direct SuperMix in the presence of inhibitors found in stool (up to 20% final volume).

Fig. 2 Amplification with sputum

Amplification profiles of inactivated influenza virus (an RNA virus) spiked into samples containing 5% sputum. The results demonstrate the capability of SensiFAST Probe One-Step Direct SuperMix (red) to have a higher tolerance to inhibitors present in sputum compared to a standard One-Step RT-qPCR master mix (black).

Product Description

SensiFAST™ Probe One-Step Direct SuperMix is a 4x, combination of the latest advances in buffer chemistry and PCR enhancers and stabilizers, together with an antibody-mediated hot-start polymerase, reverse transcriptase, RNase Inhibitor, dNTPs and MgCl2. It has been designed for highly reproducible, accurate assay results in the presence of inhibitors, making it ideal for direct amplification directly from the most challenging samples.

The advanced buffer chemistry and enhancers has been developed for fast RT-qPCR and is designed for superior sensitivity and specificity with probe‑detection technology, including TaqMan®, Scorpions® and molecular beacon probes, making SensiFAST Direct Probe One-Step Direct SuperMix perfect for multiplexing, allowing more samples to be run in a day with the highest confidence, ideal for high‑throughput assays.
