Qihengxing High Sensitive Probe Method qPCR Mix

Starlighter HS Probe qPCR Mix (Universal) is a ready-to-use high-sensitivity probe-based qPCR Mix developed based on the ultra-high performance hot-start genetically engineered Taq Pro DNA polymerase. The optimized buffer reaction system can effectively reduce non-specific amplification and greatly increase the amplification efficiency of qPCR, making it suitable for ultra-sensitive qPCR detection. This product has been verified by animal single-cell embryo sex detection and can efficiently amplify DNA as low as fg-level templates. The polymerase in this qPCR Mix is blocked with antibodies, and the enzyme activity can be activated at 90°C for 30 s. The DNA polymerase in this product catalyzes the synthesis of DNA in the 5'→3' direction, has 5'→3' exonuclease activity, and has no 3'→5' proofreading exonuclease activity. When the amplified product has a 3'dA protruding end, it only takes 1-10 s to amplify 1kb. It is compatible with the standard and rapid modes of different qPCR instruments. Because this reagent has ultra-high detection sensitivity and anti-inhibitor amplification, it is more suitable for applications in animal disease and environmental detection.

Application Case - African Swine Fever qPCR Detection

African swine fever (ASF) is an acute, hemorrhagic, and highly contagious disease caused by infection with the African swine fever virus (ASFV). It is characterized by a short course of disease and an acute infection mortality rate of up to 100%. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) has listed it as a notifiable animal disease and included it in the list of animal pathogens to be verified under the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons. my country has listed it as a Category I animal epidemic.

By targeting the conserved region of the African swine fever virus genome, specific primers and probes were designed, and the probes were labeled with FAM fluorescein; at the same time, specific primers and probes were designed with a certain region of the pig genome as a positive internal reference, and the probes were labeled with VIC fluorescein. Using the Qihengxing StarLighter high-sensitivity probe method qPCR premix (universal type, item number: FS-Q3002) and qPCR instrument, African swine fever virus DNA in the sample can be quickly and qualitatively detected. Compatible with different instrument models and heating and cooling rates.

The plasmid standard that meets the primary material standard was prepared with the African swine fever virus gene. The original concentration was 10^5 copies/μL for gradient dilution, and the final concentration was 1.2-240000 copies/reaction (theoretical calculation value). The experimental results showed that in a 10 μL reaction system, a single copy/reaction detection sensitivity could be achieved. The virus plasmid was used as the standard curve, and the amplification efficiency and R2 value were both excellent.

Compared with the products from supplier B, Qihengxing showed better detection performance in all tested samples.
