产品信息
探针法定量 PCR(qPCR)原理是利用聚合酶的 5´→3´ 核酸外切酶活性,将淬灭的靶基因特异性探针切断,使其发出荧光,并实时监测释放出的荧光,以测量每个 PCR 循环中的 DNA 扩增。通过检测荧光信号显著超过本底信号时的循环数,可确定 Cq 值。Cq 值可用于评估评估两个或两个以上的样本之间的相对丰度,也通过梯度稀释已知浓度样品所绘制的标准曲线,对样本绝对定量。
Luna 通用探针法 qPCR 预混液是经优化的 2X 反应预混液,适用于水解探针法对靶标 DNA 序列进行实时 qPCR 检测和定量分析。该预混液包含热启动 Taq DNA 聚合酶,还添加了独特的惰性参比染料,该染料可与多种 qPCR 仪器兼容(包括需要高 ROX 或低 ROX 参比信号的仪器)。独具特色的是:预混液还包含可防止交叉污染的 dUTP,以及有助于观察反应体系建立的非荧光可见示踪染料。该染料的光谱与 qPCR 荧光染料不重叠,因此不会影响到实时检测数值。
该预混液浓度为 2X,包含 DNA 扩增和定量所需的所有 PCR 组分(引物/探针和 DNA 模板除外)。使用 Luna qPCR 试剂配合商品化的 qPCR 检测引物/探针,可以对基因组 DNA 或感兴趣的 cDNA 进行定量。

注意事项
- Assay Design
The use of qPCR primer design software (e.g., Primer3) maximizes the likelihood of amplification success while minimizing nonspecific amplification and primer dimers. Targets with balanced GC/AT content (40–60%) tend to amplify efficiently. Where possible, enter sufficient sequence around the area of interest to permit robust primer design and use search criteria that permit cross-reference against relevant sequence databases (to avoid potential off-target amplification). For cDNA targets, it is advisable to design primers across known splicing sites in order to prevent amplification from genomic DNA. Conversely, primers designed to target intronic regions can ensure amplification exclusively from genomic DNA. - Primer and Probe Concentration
For most targets, a final concentration of 400 nM for each primer will provide optimum performance. If needed, primer concentrations can be optimized between 200–900 nM. Probe should be included at 200 nM for best results. Probe concentration can be optimized in the range of 100–500 nM if optimization of performance or target fluorescence level is desired. - Multiplexing
To detect or quantitate multiple targets in the same Luna reaction, select different fluorophores corresponding to separate detection channels of the real-time instrument. Include 400 nM of forward and reverse primer and 200 nM probe for each target to be detected in the reaction, and adjust concentrations if necessary based on performance (primer 200–900 nM, probe 100–500 nM). When loading qPCR protocol onto the real-time instrument, be sure to select the appropriate optical channels, as some instruments have a single channel recording mode that would prevent multiplex data collection and analysis. For ROX-dependent instruments, avoid ROX-labeled probes. The functionality of the primer and probe sets should be tested individually before attempting a multiplex reaction. When determining which fluorophores to include in a multiplex reaction, be sure to choose compatible reporter dyes and quenchers that have well separated fluorescence spectra or exhibit minimal overlap. - Amplicon Length
To ensure successful and consistent qPCR results, it is important to maximize PCR efficiency. An important aspect of this is the design of short PCR amplicons (typically 70–200 bp). Some optimization may be required (including the use of longer extension times), for targets that exceed that range. - Template Preparation and Concentration
Luna qPCR is compatible with DNA samples prepared through typical nucleic acid purification methods. Prepared DNA should be stored in an EDTA-containing buffer (e.g., 1X TE) for long-term stability, and dilutions should be freshly prepared for a qPCR experiment by dilution into either TE or water.
Generally, a useful concentration of standard and unknown material will be in the range of 106 copies to 1 copy. For gDNA samples from large genomes (e.g., human, mouse) a range of 50 ng–1 pg of gDNA is typical. For small genomes, adjust as necessary using 106 –1 copy input as an approximate range. Note that for single copy dilutions, some samples will contain multiple copies and some will have none, as defined by the Poisson distribution.
For cDNA, use the product of a reaction containing 1 μg–0.1 pg starting RNA. cDNA does not need to be purified before addition to the Luna reaction but should be diluted at least 1:10 into the qPCR. - ROX Reference Dye
Some real-time instruments recommend the use of a passive reference dye (typically ROX) to overcome well-to-well variations that could be caused by machine limitations such as “edge effect”, bubbles, small differences in volume, and autofluorescence from dust or particulates in the reaction. However, ROX normalization does little to the variations caused by pipetting errors of templates/primers, heterogeneous mixing, and evaporation/condensation issues.
A universal passive reference dye is included in the following Luna® qPCR products: Luna Universal qPCR Master Mix (NEB #M3003), Luna Universal Probe qPCR Master Mix (NEB #M3004), Luna Universal One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (NEB #E3005), and Luna Universal Probe One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (NEB #E3006). These products support broad instrument compatibility (High-ROX, Low-ROX, ROX-independent) so no additional ROX is required for normalization.
The Luna Probe One-Step RT-qPCR Kit (No ROX) (E3007) contains no reference dye and is compatible with any instrument that does not require ROX. If ROX normalization is needed, ROX can be added. Please refer to instrument manufacturer’s instructions for greater details.
- Carryover Contamination Prevention
qPCR is an extremely sensitive method, and contamination in new qPCR assays with products from previous amplification reactions can cause a variety of issues such as false positive results and a decrease in sensitivity. The best way to prevent this “carryover” contamination is to practice good laboratory procedures and avoid opening the reaction vessel post amplification. However, to accommodate situations where additional anti-contamination measures are desired, the Luna Universal Probe qPCR Master Mix contains a mixture of dUTP/dTTP that results in the incorporation of dU into the DNA product during amplification. Pretreatment of qPCR experiments with uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) will eliminate previously-amplified uracil-containing products by excising the uracil base to produce a non-amplifiable DNA product. The use of a thermolabile UDG is important, as complete inactivation of the UDG is required to prevent destruction of newly synthesized qPCR products.To enable carryover prevention, 0.025 units/μl Antarctic Thermolabile UDG (NEB #M0372) should be added to the reaction mix. To maximize elimination of contaminating products, set up the qPCR experiments at room temperature or include a 10 minute incubation step at 25°C before the initial denaturation step.
- Reaction Setup and Cycling Conditions
Due to the hot start nature of the polymerase, it is not necessary to preheat the thermocycler prior to use or set up reactions on ice.
For 96-well plates, we recommend a final reaction volume of 20 μl.
For 384-well plates, a final reaction volume of 10 μl is recommended.
When programming instrument cycling conditions, ensure a plate read is included at the end of the extension step, and a denaturation (melt) curve after cycling is complete to analyze product specificity.
Amplification for 40 cycles is sufficient for most applications, but for very low input samples 45 cycles may be used.
