General description

ThermaGo™ is a double-stranded, modified nucleic acid that terminates the mispriming by interacting with DNA polymerase during the annealing and extension steps of PCR. It improves the specificity of Taq DNA polymerase. ThermaStop™ and ThermaGo act together during PCR amplification at different temperatures to increase specificity and prevent errors.

Application

ThermaGo™ is suitable for:
  • monoplex and multiplexed end-point single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping
  • detection of low-copy target numbers during single-cell PCR and digital PCR
  • detection of low-copy target numbers in liquid biopsies/tumor samples
  • enhancing the accuracy of multiplex PCR for next-generation sequencing and other post PCR applications

Features and Benefits

  • Acts at higher temperatures during annealing and elongation steps
  • Improves the reproducibility
  • Detects low-copy number targets by suppressing non-specific targets
  • Minimizes signal scatter in digital & standard PCR
  • Minimizes mispriming and chimera production before next-generation sequencing (NSG)
  • Enhances end-point genotyping

Reconstitution

Dissolve in Tris pH 8.3 buffer
