qPCR Protocol with Bio-Rad

Step 1: qPCR Reaction Setup
- Before preparing qPCR reactions, thoroughly mix the KAPA PROBE FAST Bio-Rad iCycler™ qPCR Master Mix (2X), template DNA, primers and probes.
-Calculate the required volumes of each component based on the following table:

  Final Concentration 20 μl rxn
PCR grade water up to 20 μl   As required
qPCR Master Mix (2X) 1X 10 μl
Forward Primer (10 μM) 200 nM 0.4 μl
Reverse Primer (10 μM) 200 nM 0.4 μl
Template DNA (<20 ng/20 μl rxn) Variable


Step 2: Plate Setup
- Transfer the appropriate volume of reaction mixture to each well of a PCR tube/plate. Reaction volumes may be scaled down as required.
- Cap or seal the reaction tube/plate and centrifuge briefly.

Step 3: Run the qPCR reaction
- If applicable, select fast mode on the instrument.
- Program the following cycling protocol:

  • Enzyme activation at 95 °C during 20 sec - 3 min (1 cycle)
  • Denature at 95 °C during 1 - 3 sec
  • Anneal/Extend at 60 ºC ≥ 20 sec
  • Dissociation according to instrument guidelines
  • Do 40 cycles of points 2 and 3.

Step 4: Analyze the results
- Data analysis varies depending on the instrument used. Please refer to your instrument user guide for information.
