Performance
The Rotor-Gene SYBR Green PCR Kit is well suited for use in gene expression analysis
of cDNA targets (see figures "Highly
specific and sensitive detection" and "Reliable
and specific detection down to 10 copies").
When QuantiTect Primer Assays are used together with the Rotor-Gene SYBR Green PCR
Kit, highly sensitive quantification of specific PCR products is achieved without
the need for optimization (see table).

Principle
The Rotor-Gene SYBR Green PCR Kit enables rapid and reliable real-time PCR quantification on the Rotor-Gene Q without the need for optimization of reaction and cycling conditions. The fluorescent dye SYBR Green I in the master mix enables the analysis of many different targets without having to synthesize target-specific labeled probes. Highly specific amplification is assured through a balanced combination of K+ and NH4+ ions, which promote specific primer annealing, enabling high PCR specificity and sensitivity (see figure "Specific primer annealing"). Fast cycling without compromising performance is achieved using Q-Bond, a novel PCR additive that enables cycler run times of as low as 45 minutes (see figure "Fast primer annealing").
