2xPCR mastermix - MetabolicEngineeringGroupCBMA/MetabolicEngineeringGroupCBMA.github.io GitHub Wiki
Using a PCR master-mix saves time and improves PCR reproducibility, especially if many reactions are prepared. For a standard PCR reaction , half the volume should be 2xPCR mastermix. The standard recipe is as follows:
Component | µL | stock | 2xPCR mastermix | final concentration in PCR reaction |
---|---|---|---|---|
Water | 16 | - | - | - |
Buffer(xC) | 5 | 10x | 2x | 1x |
MgCl2(mM) | 2 | 50 mM | 4 mM | 2 mM |
dNTPs(mM) | 1 | 10 | 0.4 | 0.2 |
Taq | 1 | 100% | 5.0% | 2.5% |
Total | 25 | - | - | - |
