What is kb PCR?
Long Range PCR refers to the amplification of DNA lengths that cannot typically be amplified using routine PCR methods or reagents. For simple DNA templates, polymerases optimized for Long Range PCR can amplify up to 30 kb and beyond. For complex, genomic templates, 20 kb is a typical target.
How large can a PCR product be?
PCR products in the range of 5–10kb can be amplified with Taq DNA polymerase but often require more optimization than smaller PCR products. For products larger than approximately 10kb, we recommend an enzyme or enzyme mix and reaction conditions that are designed for long PCR.
How many copies of DNA are there after 10 cycles of PCR?
The number of double stranded DNA pieces is doubled in each cycle, so that after n cycles you have 2^n (2 to the n:th power) copies of DNA. For example, after 10 cycles you have 1024 copies, after 20 cycles you have about one million copies, etc.
What is the minimum amount of DNA needed for PCR?
50-100ng genomic DNA and aprox. 20-50ng of plasmid is sufficient for PCR.
How many BP can PCR amplify?
Ideally, this should yield DNA of a consistent quality that can be amplified to produce longer PCR products, including the 600 bp t(11;14) MTCA PCR product….Table 1.

How do you calculate PCR product size?
Just select the organism and paste your forward and reverse primers. Download target gene sequence from NCBI and try to locate both the primers. Calculate the number of nucleotides present in between the primers. To it add the number of nucleotides present in each primers to obtain the expected size.
What is the maximum length of PCR product?
The maximum amplicon length we have tested using TopTaq DNA Polymerase and the TopTaq Master Mix Kit was 5 kb, amplified from genomic DNA template. Larger PCR amplicon sizes are possible when using less complex template DNA.
How many copies can PCR produce?
The number of new copies of the DNA sequence of interest doubles with each three-step cycle. Thus, if the PCR process is repeated 40 or 50 times, even small samples of template DNA can yield millions of identical copies (Figure 5).
How do you calculate PCR yield?
The simplest answer is to determine molecular weight of a 1.2 kb DNA and convert that to moles and weight. A 1.2 kb DNA will have a molecular weight of 1200 X 660 grams per mole (6.02 X 10^23 molecules). One DNA fragment will yield 2^30 copies under ideal (100% efficiency) PCR conditions.
What is a primer for PCR?
A primer is a short, single-stranded DNA sequence used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. In the PCR method, a pair of primers is used to hybridize with the sample DNA and define the region of the DNA that will be amplified.
What kind of machine is used for PCR?
Quantitative PCR (qPCR), also called real-time PCR, or RT-PCR, is a variation of the standard polymerase chain reaction which uses just one machine to combine the amplification of a target DNA sequence with the quantification of the concentration of the DNA in any given reaction. This is done using fluorescence-detecting thermocyclers.
Are there any real time reagents for PCR?
PCR and Real-Time PCR Reagents Bio-Rad’s reagents are specially formulated to meet both conventional and real-time PCR requirements with minimal need for optimization.
How much does it cost to lease a PCR machine?
Fortunately, it’s cheaper to lease. How Much Does a PCR Machine Cost? The cost of a PCR machine can vary enormously depending on your needs. A basic PCR machine can have as low as a $5,000 list price, while rtPCR systems can range from $15,000 to over $90,000 for a top-of-the-line unit.
How does Bio-Rad work for real time PCR?
Bio-Rad’s reagents are specially formulated to meet both conventional and real-time PCR requirements with minimal need for optimization. This multifunctional tool facilitates cap opening and closing. It prevents crushing of 0.5 ml and 0.2 ml thin-wall PCR tubes, and it properly seats domed caps in tubes or PCR plates.
