Prelude One-Step PreAmp Master Mix—high-quality preamplification of limited RNA samples

Prelude One-Step PreAmp Master Mix uses an optimized reverse transcriptase, polymerase, and buffer to maximize RT-PCR efficiency for all targets in a preamplification reaction. This enables the highest level of unbiased preamplification for >100 targets, from as little as 100 pg mRNA or 10 ng total RNA. This 2X premix works with intact RNA or degraded RNA extracted from FFPE samples. Amplified products can be used for downstream real-time PCR (qPCR), genotyping, or target-enrichment analysis.

qPCR, SNP genotyping, and targeted enrichment are powerful molecular techniques for a wide range of research and clinical applications. However, these techniques may be less effective when working with limited or precious starting materials, such as nucleic acids extracted from FFPE tissue, samples obtained in extremely small quantities, or material that occurs at dilute concentrations in biofluids.

Overview

• Least-biased preamplification—obtain fewer outliers than other commercially available preamplification mixes.
• Greatest sensitivity—start with as little as 100 pg mRNA or 10 ng total RNA.
• Universal compatibility—use preamplified samples for real-time PCR on over 100 green intercalating dye- or probe-based targets, SNP genotyping, or target enrichment.
• Convenient, ready-to-use master mix—just add RNA samples and primers, and then cycle 10–14 times. Prelude One-Step PreAmp Master Mix is the only commercially available preamp mix containing a stable reverse transcriptase.
