Description
The ExcelTaq™ 5X/2X PCR Master Mix is a ready-to-use mixture for amplifying targeted DNA fragments. It is designed to serve as a master mix for virtually all PCR applications. The mixture contains all components for PCR with the exception of templates and primers. This not only saves valuable time in the laboratory, but also reduces pipetting and reagent handling errors. The PCR Master Mix is supplied as a 5X/2X concentrated ready-to-use mixture of recombinant Taq DNA Polymerase, reaction buffer, MgCl2 (TP1120 contains MgSO4), dNTP, and enzyme stabilizer enabling efficient amplification of template in PCR and allows the user to prepare a PCR reagent conveniently. This product is supplied with 6X DNA Loading Dye (Blue) containing two tracking dyes (Xylene cyanol FF and Bromophenol blue) for post PCR analysis through the use of agarose gel electrophoresis.

Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) is a gammaretrovirus. The virus was first described in 2006 and has since been isolated from human biological samples. XMRV belongs to the family Retroviridae and the genus gammaretrovirus. It has a single-stranded RNA genome that replicates through a DNA intermediate. The virus gets its name due to its close relationship with the murine leukemia viruses (MuLVs). The viral genome is approximately 8100 nucleotides in length and is 95% identical with several endogenous retroviruses of mice. While gammaretroviruses have well-characterized oncogenic effects in animals, they have not been shown to cause human cancers. However, XMRV was recently discovered in human prostate cancers and is the first gammaretrovirus known to infect humans. In addition to prostate cancer, a possible association with chronic fatigue syndrome has been reported, however it has yet to be established whether XMRV is a cause of this disease.
The causal role of XMRV in cancer has yet to be established and the virus does not appear to be capable of transforming cells directly. In prostate cancer, XMRV protein has been found in tumour-associated but nonmalignant stromal cells, but not in the actual prostate cancer cells. This raises the possibility that the virus may support tumorigenesis. In other studies, XMRV proteins and nucleic acids were found in malignant cells.

Storage Conditions and Product Stability
All kit components can be stored for 1 year after the date of production without showing any reduction in performance.
All kit components should be stored at -20°C upon arrival. Repeated thawing and freezing (> 2 x) of the Master Mix and Positive Control should be avoided, as this may affect the performance of the assay. If the reagents are to be used only intermittently, they should be frozen in aliquots.

The PCR-free NGS DNA Library Prep Kit was developed for construction of DNA libraries for next generation sequencing (illumina platform). The kit adds 3′-dT-tailed library adapters to both ends of DNA fragments efficiently. The kit uses double strand DNA fragments (blunt and/or sticky) as input DNA for NGS library construction, and is compatible with DNA fragments generated from both enzymatic methods (BioDynami DNA fragmentation enzymes etc.) and physical methods (sonication, nebulization etc.).
PCR-Free NGS DNA Library Prep Kit Workflow
PCR amplification is a standard step for library preparation of Next-Generation Sequencing. The PCR is used to amplify fully ligated DNA fragments and to add index information to the libraries. The indexing is for the pooling of the library samples in an effort to reduce the sequencing cost.
However, PCR introduces uneven amplification of DNA in some DNA regions with extreme GC-contents and secondary structures. This bias can cause very low sequencing coverage in such regions. DNA sequencing in these regions is still a huge challenge.
PCR-free library prep can reduce library bias and minimize sequencing gaps. The sequencing data from PCR-free library samples have even genomic coverage with few gaps and better depth in GC-rich regions. Our PCR-free NGS kit offers optimal coverage in the regions that are traditionally difficult, such as high-GC content regions, low-GC content regions, and repetitive sequence regions.
Two index types are available for the kit:
Non-index: Libraries do not have index.
Index: Each library contains one i5 index and one i7 index. Library multiplexing up to 96 samples is possible. List of indexes can be downloaded Here.
