Optimized ready-to-use PCR master mix for routine PCR assays. This master mix contains thermostable Taq polymerase FIREPol®, MgCl2, dNTPs, and buffer with detergent. You just need to add a template, primers, and water.
Ready to Load format also includes a compound needed for direct loading onto an agarose gel and two tracking dyes (blue and yellow) that allow monitoring progress during electrophoresis.
We recommend using FIREPol® Master Mix Ready to Load in any PCR application that will be visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis and ethidium bromide staining. FIREPol® Master Mix Ready to Load is not recommended for use in post-PCR applications where spectrophotometric measurements (absorbance or fluorescence) are necessary because yellow and blue dyes can interfere with these applications.

FIREPol® and HOT FIREPol® DNA Polymerases and Master Mixes, as well as SolisFAST® Master Mix are compatible with most restriction enzymes without cleaning up the PCR reaction product.
SolisFAST® Master Mix with UNG contains dUTP instead of dTTP leading to the generation of PCR products containing uracil. Check your restriction enzyme for the ability to digest U-containing DNA amplicons.
Products generated by our FIREPol®, HOT FIREPol® DNA Polymerases and Master Mixes, as well as SolisFast® Master Mixes may be used for Sanger sequencing.
Prior to the sequencing, the products should be purified to remove excess primers and nucleotides (enzymatically with ExoI/SAP or Spin column-based nucleic acid purification).
Products generated with 5x HOT FIREPol® Blend Master Mix should be cleaned up utilising column-based nucleic acid purification method, because this mix contains proofreading enzyme with 3’-5’ exonuclease activity and may degrade your sequencing primer.
Please note that Ready to Load versions of our Master Mixes are not recommended for use in applications where spectro-photometric measurements (absorbance or fluorescence) are necessary because tracking dyes can interfere with these applications.
The concentration of the MgCl2 in PCR reaction affects the productivity of your PCR reaction. Higher concentrations of MgCl2 may increase productivity of DNA polymerase, but also may decrease specificity causing unexpected products.
Usually, 1.5-2.5 mM final concentration of MgCl2 is optimal for general PCR. However, optimal concentration of MgCl2 depends on template, buffer, DNA and dNTPs. Solis BioDyne produces Master Mixes at different MgCl2 concentration, which allows greater flexibility in reaction optimisation. For your very first experiment with Master Mix, we recommend to use Master Mix with 1,5 - 2 mM MgCl2 (in final 1x PCR Mix)
Solis BioDyne products should be stored at -20°C.
Shipping and temporary storage for up to 1 month at room temperature (*15−25°C) has no detrimental effects on the quality of Solis BioDyne reagents.
Freeze-thaw stability is tested for each product. Most PCR and qPCR products have passed 30 freeze-thaw cycles with no changes in performance. Specific information is found in Storage and Shipping conditions of each product.
When stored and handled under the recommended conditions, full activity of the reagents is retained until the Expiry Date printed on the tube label.
