FAQ-204
Does QIAGEN sell Q-Solution separately?
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.

Taq PCR Core Kit
Taq PCR Core Kit is provided in a complete kit format comprising, Taq DNA Polymerase, the unique QIAGEN PCR Buffer that minimizes the requirement for optimization, as well as a dNTP mix. Also provided is Q-Solution, a novel additive that enables efficient amplification of "difficult" (e.g., GC rich) templates. In addition, CoralLoad PCR Buffer (containing two gel-tracking dyes) is included, enabling immediate loading of PCR products.
Taq DNA Polymerase
Taq DNA Polymerase is supplied with the unique QIAGEN PCR Buffer that minimizes the need for optimization of PCR parameters, as well as Q-Solution, a novel additive that enables efficient amplification of "difficult" (e.g., GC rich) templates. In addition, CoralLoad PCR Buffer (containing two gel-tracking dyes) is also provided, enabling immediate loading of PCR products.
QIAGEN OneStep RT-PCR Kit
The QIAGEN One-Step RT-PCR Kit provides a blend of Sensiscript and Omniscript Reverse Transcriptases, HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase, QIAGEN OneStep RT-PCR Buffer, a dNTP mix, and Q-Solution, a novel additive that enables efficient amplification of "difficult" (e.g., GC-rich) templates. The easy one-tube setup and optimized components result in highly sensitive and successful results.
QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kit
The QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kit is available in a convenient ready-to-use master mix format. The QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Master Mix includes HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase and a unique PCR buffer containing the novel synthetic Factor MP. Together with optimized salt concentrations, this additive stabilizes specifically bound primers and enables efficient extension of all primers in the reaction without the need for optimization. Q-Solution, a novel additive that enables efficient amplification of "difficult" (e.g., GC-rich) templates, is also supplied.
HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase
HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase uses a chemically mediated hot start that, unlike, antibody-mediated systems, leads to complete inactivation of the polymerase until the initial heat activation step at the start of PCR. HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase is supplied with the unique QIAGEN PCR Buffer, which minimizes nonspecific amplification products, primer dimers, and background. Q-Solution, a novel additive that enables efficient amplification of "difficult" (e.g., GC rich) templates, is also provided.
