Description
The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) is a ready-to-use reagent with all the essential components for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) except primers and template. The master mix features high sensitivity and signal intensity as well as low background and better compatibility with cDNA templates derived directly from reverse transcription reaction mixture. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) contains hot-start Taq polymerase in an optimized buffer with dsDNA specific SYBR green fluorescent dye. This master mix allows for sensitive, precise amplification, real-time tracking of the amplification process, and simultaneous quantification for targeted DNA molecules. With inert smart blue contrast dye, the ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) is ready-to-use and greatly reduces pipetting errors, while largely improving the reproducibility of the process. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix is also compatible with a ROX reference dye if recommended by the manufacturer of the qPCR system.

General information
Champion™ Competent Cells are chemically competent cells, which were prepared by SMOBIO to make E. coli perform excellent transformation efficiency. Standard transformation protocol is recommended for large plasmids or non-ampicillin selection. Time-saving transformation protocol is recommended for simple and rapid transformation. Champion™ Competent Cells are one of the fastest and simplest ready-to-use competent cell products in the world.
Kit contents
Shipping condition
Throughout the shipping process, the temperature is maintained under -70°C.
Storage and expiration
Champion™ Competent Cells must be stored between -70°C to -80°C. Subsequent freeze-thaw cycles will reduce transformation efficiency. If high efficiency is required for the experiment, do not use aliquots that have gone through several freeze-thaw cycles. The efficiency of Champion™ Competent Cells lasts for 1 year with proper storage.

Sample type purification kit guide
The 16S V1-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V1-V3 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.
The 16S V1-V3 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V1-V3 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.
