VeriQuest™ Real-Time qPCR Master MixesUSB® VeriQuest qPCR Master Mixes are supplied as 2X pre-mixed formulations containing both Passive Reference Dye and Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) in an optimized buffer for quality results in real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays. The proprietary reaction buffer and the hot start polymerase enhance qPCR amplification by reducing primer-dimer formation and non-template priming, increasing specificity and sensitivity.

USB VeriQuest qPCR Master Mixes provide reproducible, consistent results while maintaining precision and efficiency. Consistency over a broad dynamic template concentration range allows 7 orders of magnitude linear detection for our SYBR Green formulation and 9 orders of magnitude linear detection for probe formulation (Figure 1).

The introduction of commercial microarrays by Affymetrix in the mid-1990s revolutionized gene expression analysis by offering previously inconceivable quality and consistency with unmatched depth and breadth of genomic coverage. Simultaneously, real-time quantitative PCR emerged as a complementary technology to identify and measure differential gene expression with the benefits of specificity, sensitivity, and broad dynamic range(1). The joining together in one company, Affymetrix—innovators in gene expression, and USB—quality specialists in enzymology and reagent formulation, led to the introduction of the USB® VeriQuest™ qPCR Master Mixes.

There are many methods available for microarray validation and Affymetrix offers multiple options including VeriQuest qPCR master mixes and branched DNA base QuantiGene® products. While quantitative PCR is a well-accepted method for validating array data as shown in the influential MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) study(2), having a highly specific and sensitive master mix with a wide dynamic range is key for precise quantification and validation. With the benefits of the VeriQuest master mixes, customers can be certain this optimized formulation will meet their microarray validation needs.

With exceptional sensitivity, specificity, and dynamic range, VeriQuest master mixes are useful tools for microarray validation (2, 3)

Accurately quantify differences in mRNA expression and genotyping analysis Confirm differential gene expression from array analyses Measure abundance of DNA or RNA sequences in clinical or industrial samples

VeriQuest real-time PCR master mixes are the fast, easy, familiar, and cost-effective validation solutions

qPCR is highly sensitive Small sample volumes are effective Quickly generate validation data with either fast or standard mode cycling Familiar technology using readily available laboratory equipment
