原理

QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kit是首个专为多重PCR研发的试剂盒，有即用型混合液规格。QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Master Mix包含预优化浓度的HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase和MgCl₂、dNTPs和新型的PCR缓冲液专为多重PCR研发。该试剂盒在首次尝试多重PCR即获得成功。由于试剂盒内独特的预优化的试剂无需优化反应条件（比如，引物浓度，Mg²⁺和Taq DNA聚合酶）和循环参数。

HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase

HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase对 Taq DNA聚合酶进行改善，在室温下无聚合酶活性。这可以防止非特异性退火引物和在低温条件下的PCR设置和初始的PCR循环中形成引物二聚体。在95°C下，经15分钟诱导可激活HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase，可纳入各种现有的热循环程序中。

多重PCR缓冲液

这特殊的缓冲液包含优化的由K⁺和NH^₄+以及独特的PCR辅助剂、MP因子可增加模板引物的局部浓度。配合K⁺和其他阳离子、MP因子稳定特异性结合的引物，并能够用HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase进行高效的引物延伸（参见" Stable and efficient primer annealing"）。通过在每个PCR循环中高比率的特异性-非特异性引物结合，该新型的缓冲液维持每个PCR循环的特异性扩增。由于KCl和(NH₄)₂SO₄独特的平衡结合，相比传统的PCR缓冲液，该缓冲液能在更广泛的退火温度和Mg²⁺浓度下，提供严格的引物退火条件。通过改变退火温度或Mg²⁺浓度可优化PCR，因此通常将优化过程最小化或无需要优化。

Q-Solution

Q-Solution是一种新型的PCR辅助剂，有助于扩增由DNA融化特性修改的困难模板，同时配合HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase提供。该独特的试剂可优化高度二级结构或富含GC的模板所致的效果欠佳的PCR。不同于其他常用的PCR辅助剂如DMSO，Q-Solution只用于一种工作浓度，并保证无毒和PCR纯度好。

FAQ

The concentration of the agarose gel for separation of multiplex PCR products should be appropriate for the overall size of products generated and can be adjusted for resolving small size differences between PCR fragments. For optimal results, we recommend the use of 1x TAE buffer for preparation and running of the gel. Use the general guidelines listed in the table below for choosing the percentage of agarose.

Minimum difference in size of PCR products	Maximum size of fragments	Concentration of agarose
>200 bp	2000 bp	1.3%
>100-200 bp	1000 bp	1.4-1.6%
>50-100 bp	750 bp	1.7-2.0%
20-50 bp	500 bp	2.5-3.0%
<20bp*	250 bp	3.0-4.0%

*Efficient separation of PCR products differing in size by about 20 bp is usually possible using standard molecular-biology–grade agarose. For separation of fragments that differ in size by less than 20 bp, we recommend using high-resolution agarose, for example MetaPhor® agarose (FMC Bioproducts). For more information, visit www.cambrex.com.

Please refer to the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Handbook for additional information, and for details on successful multiplex PCR using the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kit.

FAQ ID -800

Both the quality and quantity of nucleic acid starting template affect PCR, in particular the sensitivity and efficiency of amplification. PCR sensitivity and efficiency can be reduced by the presence of impurities in nucleic acid preparations or in biological samples. These PCR inhibitors are completely removed when template is prepared using QIAGEN Kits for nucleic acid purification. Please refer to the Brochure "Maximizing PCR and RT-PCR success" for additional information.

The optimal primer–template ratio has to be determined empirically. If too little template is used, primers may not be able to find their complementary sequences. Too much template may lead to an increase in mispriming events. Generally, no more than 1 ug of template DNA should be used per PCR reaction. As an initial guide, spectrophotometric and molar conversion values for different nucleic acid templates are listed below.

Spectrophotometric conversions for nucleic acid templates

Always start with the cycling conditions specified in the handbook for the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kit to guarantee best performance.

FAQ ID -287

No, we do not sell Q-Solution separately. It is available only as a component of the Taq DNA Polymerase, Taq PCR Core, HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase, QIAGEN Multiplex PCR-, and the QIAGEN OneStep RT-PCR Kits.

FAQ ID -204

Yes, please follow the Supplementary Protocol 'Polyacrylamide_gel_analysis_of_oligonucleotides' (PCR03).

FAQ ID -961

Not necessarily. In a lot of cases, the uniquely formulated PCR Buffer provided in the HotStarTag Plus DNA Polymerase, HotStar HiFidelity Polymerase, Taq DNA Polymerase, HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase, and QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kits provides optimal amplification of specific PCR products. The usefulness of Q-Solution needs to be determined empirically for each primer/template setup, by running parallel PCR reactions with and without Q-Solution under the same cycling conditions.

Q-Solution changes the melting behavior of DNA and will often improve a suboptimal PCR caused by templates that have a high degree of secondary structure or high GC-contents. For more details on the effects of Q-Solution on PCR amplification, please see the Q-Solution sections of the HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase, HotStar HiFidelity Polymerase, Taq DNA Polymerase, HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase, and the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Handbooks.

FAQ ID -380

The exact composition of the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Buffer supplied in the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kit is proprietary. The buffer contains a specially developed balanced combination of salts and additives to ensure comparable efficiencies for annealing and extension of all primers in the reaction, thereby facilitating the amplification of multiple PCR products in a single tube.

The QIAnews article 'Highly efficient multiplex PCR using novel reaction chemistry' provides additional details and describes the advantages of this buffer in contrast to conventional PCR reagents.

FAQ ID -289

Yes, the Multiplex PCR Master Mix will freeze at -20°C. Freeze-thaw cycles up to 10 times will not negatively influence the performance of the kit. The 2x QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Master Mix can also be stored at 2-8°C for up to 6 months.

FAQ ID - 525

Yes. Please see Table 3 in our brochure Maximizing PCR and RT-PCR success. We tested the effects of different inhibitory substances in a number of PCR systems. We also analyzed the effect of including different volumes of reverse transcription (RT) reaction mixtures in PCR. Please see the table below for a list of commonly encountered template impurities and their inhibitory effects on PCR.

SDS	>0.005% (w/v)
Phenol	>0.2% (v/v)
Ethanol	>1% (v/v)
Isopropanol	>1% (v/v)
Sodium Acetate	≥5 mM
Sodium Chloride	≥25 nM
EDTA	≥0.5 mM
Hemoglobin	≥1 mg/ml
Heparin	≥0.15 i.U./ml
Urea	>20 mM

FAQ ID -818

Yes. Precipitates may form when the buffer freezes. We recommend that you thaw the buffer on ice, then vortex the tube at room temperature until the precipitate has re-dissolved. Do not centrifuge the tube. Do not heat the buffer.

FAQ ID -216

No, the initial activation time of 15 minutes at 95°C is crucial. Enzyme activation will be incomplete when using shorter activation times, resulting in inefficient PCR product amplification.

FAQ ID -565

The DNA yield obtained in a PCR reaction depends on the size of the amplicon, design of the primers, starting amount of template and primers, amplification efficiency, reaction volume, numbers of PCR cycles etc. Therefore it is really difficult to predict what yield to expect. Nevertheless, in our experience, approximately 1 µg is a good guess for most cases.

FAQ ID -750

To determine the optimal annealing temperature for a PCR assay, a Temperature Gradient experiment should be performed. To do this, you will set up several PCR reactions in duplicate for the same primer/template combination, using the same PCR chemistry, and subject each of the reactions to a slightly different annealing temperature within a specified range. If a thermal cycler with a temperature gradient function can be used, you can simply program a temperature range for adjacent wells in the cycling block. If no cycler with a gradient function exists in your lab, you will either have to perform duplicate reactions at different temperatures in different machines (if available), or back to back in the same machine.
