Instructions for Use：

1.Prepare PCR reactions:a.Thaw PCR components at room temperature and mix well prior to use. Keep the Plus DNA polymerase on ice.b.Set up the PCR reaction on ice as follows:To amplify dsDNA ＜ 6kbTo amplify dsDNA ＞ 6kbReagentFinal ConcentrationVolumeFinal ConcentrationVolumeNuclease-free water-(36.5-x)μl-(29-y)μl10X Buffer (with Mg2+)1×5μl1×5μldNTP (2.5mM each)0.25mM each5μl0.5mM each10μlTemplate DNA10pg-1μg*xμl10pg-1μg*yμlPrimer mixtures (10μM each)0.2μM each1μl0.4μM each2μl DNA Polymerase2.5U/50μl1μl2.5U/50μl1μlTotal volume-50μl-50μlNote 1: When multiple reactions are required, prepare a master mix including all reagents except template and primer, and then dispense to different nuclease-free PCR tubes. Sometimes, the master mix can also include template and primer.Note 2: When amplifying fragments larger than 6kb, the amount of template should be increased appropriately, but too much template DNA can also easily lead to non-specific PCR amplification products. * The recommended amount of template varies for different types of DNA. In a reaction volume of 50μl, use 100 ng of Mammalian genomic DNA, 100 ng of E. coli genomic DNA, or 5-30 ng of Plasmid DNA. c.Mix the PCR reaction mixture by gentle vortex or pipetting. Centrifuge briefly to collect liquid at the bottom of the PCR tube. d.(Optional) When using a thermocycler without a heated lid, place a drop of mineral oil onto the top of PCR reaction mixture.2.Transfer the PCR reaction to a thermocycler and run thermocycling conditions as follows:StepTo amplify dsDNA ＜6kbTo amplify dsDNA ＞ 6kbCyclesInitial denaturation94℃ 3min94℃ 3min1Denaturation94℃ 30sec94℃ 30sec30Annealing55℃ 30sec55℃ 30secExtension68℃ 15s/kb68℃ 1min/kbFinal extension68℃ 10min68℃ 15min1Hold4℃ forever4℃ forever-Note 1: The extension temperature can also be set to 72℃, but the amplification will be slightly reduced. For DNA fragments difficult to amplify, denaturation at 92℃ and extension at 72℃ are recommended. Note 2: PCR running conditions should be adjusted based on the template, primer sequence, the length of PCR product or GC content, etc.Note 3: The optimal extension time varies depending on the amplicon length. For amplification of DNA fragments shorter than 6kb, the recommended extension time is 15 seconds per kb (e.g. use 15 seconds to amplify 1kb fragment and 30 seconds to amplify 2kb fragment). When amplifying DNA fragments longer than 6kb, the recommended extension time is 1 minute per kb (e.g., use 5 minutes to amplify 5kb fragment). Note 4: For initial PCR, the number of cycles can be set to 35 to ensure that the expected PCR product can be amplified. The number of cycles for semi-quantitative or quantitative PCR analysis must be optimized appropriately so that the PCR reaction does not reach a plateau.FAQ:1.Few PCR products or no specific bands.a.It could be due to poor design of primers. Use primer design tools for primer design to avoid inappropriate GC content, secondary structure, dimer, annealing temperature, length, specificity and other possible problems. When adding restriction enzyme cutting sites in the primer sequence, the same problems need to be considered. In the case that positive control primers work normally but not your primers, redesign primers.b.DNA to be amplified may have a high GC content. High GC genes are relatively difficult to be amplified. In such a case, GC-rich buffer suitable for amplifying DNA with high GC content can be used, and PCR reaction parameters should be adjusted accordingly. Direct addition of 1-10% DMSO or 5-20% glycerol is also helpful for amplifying fragments with high GC content.c.PCR reactions set up at room temperature tend to produce non-specific bands. It is recommended to set up PCR reactions on ice.d.The presence of secondary structure in primers, primer dimers or short primers, may result in poor annealing of primers to the target sequence. In this case, try touch down or other methods for annealing. A gradual cooling from 65℃ to 55℃ or 50℃ is usually used to make annealing more efficiently. e.The annealing temperature needs to be optimized. If necessary, use a temperature gradient to determine the optimal annealing temperature for each template-primer pair combination. f.Insufficient extension time. The extension time can be extended 2-5 times from the recommended extension time, and can be set to 5 minutes per 1kb for fragments difficult to amplify. g.Insufficient denaturation. To amplify long DNA or high GC DNA fragment, the initial denaturation temperature can be adjusted to 95℃ for 1 min or even 95℃ for 2-4 min.h.Perform PCR reactions on a different thermal cycler to avoid possible problems with the instrument.i.Insufficient number of PCR cycles. Try more PCR cycles, but do not exceed 40 cycles. j.Insufficient amount of template. Add more DNA templates or try nested PCR or secondary PCR. Nested PCR is to design another pair of PCR primers inside the original PCR primers, and then conduct PCR amplification again with the diluted first PCR product as template. Instead, secondary PCR uses the same primers for second PCR amplification with the diluted PCR product as template. Nested PCR usually can remove the non-specific DNA amplification, but secondary PCR cannot.k.DNA sample contains substances that inhibit the PCR reactions. In such a case, template DNA can be purified using appropriate DNA purification methods such as column purification.l.Use high-purity primers.m.Use high-quality dNTP mixture.n.Increase the amount of DNA polymerase appropriately.o.When non-specific products are produced, increase the annealing temperature appropriately.p.Positive and negative controls are always recommended when optimizing PCR reactions.2.Occurrence of non-specific bands or DNA smear when examined by agarose gel electrophoresis.a.Increase the annealing temperature by 2-5℃.b.Reduce the amount of DNA template.c.PCR reactions set up at room temperature tend to produce non-specific bands. It is recommended to set up PCR reactions on ice.d.Reduce the amount of Plus DNA polymerase appropriately.e.Reduce the extension time appropriately.Related Products：Cat.
