General description
High Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis is a technique for fast, high-throughput post-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of genetic mutations or variance in nucleic acid sequences. The KAPA HRM FAST Master Mix contains a novel DNA polymerase and buffer system, and EvaGreen® saturating dye optimized for maximum discrimination between sequence variants. The KAPA HRM FAST PCR Kit is a convenient and ready to use master mix.
Application
KAPA HRM FAST has been used for:
- Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping
- High resolution melt (HRM) assay -Mutation discovery (gene scanning)
- Heterozygosity screening
- DNA fingerprinting
- DNA methylation analysis
- Amplicon or allele amplification
- Genome editing screening for single colonies
Features and Benefits
Maximize differences in sequence variants
Accurately detect Type IV SNPs
Go from cell to SNP quickly
Quick Notes:
- Engineered to maximize differences in melting behavior.
- Improved sensitivity.
Accurately detect Type IV SNPs
- 95% detection levels, even when competitors fail.
- Reduced reaction times.
Go from cell to SNP quickly
- Enables extraction, amplification and HRM in less than 2 hours when used in combination with the KAPA Express Extract Kit.
Quick Notes:
- KAPA HRM FAST PCR Kits contain EvaGreen, a saturating double-stranded DNA dye optimized for HRM analysis.
- The 2X Master Mix contains a buffer system optimized for HRM analysis and a novel DNA polymerase to enhance amplification efficiency. The Master Mix does not contain MgCl2.
- Template DNA from different samples should be prepared using the same method and eluted or diluted in the same buffer (ideally 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5).
- The optimal amount of template DNA is between 20 ng and 100 pg per 20 μL reaction.
- To maximize the sensitivity of the assay, use the lowest concentration of primers that can be used without compromising the efficiency of the PCR reaction (0.1 μM – 0.3 μM of each primer).
- The concentration of MgCl2 can greatly affect the annealing of heterozygotes and melting of the amplicons during HRM. The recommended starting concentration is 2.5 mM MgCl2, which can be adjusted as required. 1.5 – 3.5 mM final MgCl2 is recommended for most HRM assays.
- Instrument gain settings may have to be adjusted for maximum sensitivity using KAPA HRM FAST PCR Kits.
Quality
All kit components are subjected to stringent functional quality control, are free of detectable contaminating exo and endonuclease activity, and meet strict requirements with respect to DNA contamination.
Preparation Note
Always ensure that components have been fully thawed and thoroughly mixed before use. KAPA HRM FAST qPCR Master Mix (2X) may not freeze solidly, even when stored at -20°C.
The EvaGreen dye contained in KAPA HRM FAST qPCR Master Mix (2X) is light sensitive. Exposure to direct light for an extended period of time will result in loss of fluorescent signal intensity.
KAPA HRM FAST qPCR Master Mix (2X) is stable through 30 freeze-thaw cycles. Ensure that all reagents are stored protected from light at -20°C when not in use. When protected from light, reagents are stable in the dark at 4°C for at least one week and may be stored at this temperature for short-term use, provided that they do not become contaminated with microbes and/or nucleases.
