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

Preparation Note

Dissolve in Tris pH 8.3 buffer
