General description

PCR grade water is sterile-filtered. It is free from exonucleases (DNAse, RNAse) and endonuclease (NICKase) and is also free from nucleic acid contamination.

Application

Water has been used:

  • as a component of the reaction mixture and as a diluting agent in microfluidic RT-qPCR
  • as a component of the reaction mixture for the amplification of products from fungal (Trametes versicolor) DNA
  • as a diluting agent and as a component of the reaction mixture for the amplification of cDNA
  • Water has been used to make up the final volume of the sample in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Suitability

Suitable for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

The introduction of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) into cultured cells provides a fast and efficient means of knocking down gene expression and has allowed siRNAs to quickly become a ubiquitous tool in molecular biology.

Protocols

The most common application for qPCR is the measurement of a gene transcript or copy number quantity relative to one or more reference genes using probe detection.

A protocol that can be used as a basic template for qPCR incorporating a detection probe that is specific to a single target. In these reactions, primers and probe are included at a final concentration of 200 nM and are run using LuminoCt® ReadyMix™.

The CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) system was discovered in bacteria, where it functions as an adaptive immune system against invading viral and plasmid DNA.

A protocol that can be used as a basic template for qPCR incorporating up to four detection probes. In these reactions, primers and probe are included at a final concentration of 200 nM and are run using LuminoCt ReadyMix.
