Description
TAQMAN PROBE
TaqMan® probes are custom oligonucleotides labeled with a fluorescent dye and a quencher for real-time PCR detection. |
Single-labeled probes are suitable for conventional PCR, while dual-labeled probes (with 5’ reporter dye and 3’ quencher) provide high specificity and sensivity for qPCR assays |
Production & Quality Assurance |
Synthesized under contamination-free conditions with high-purity reagents. |
Sequence accuracy, purity, and concentration verified via LC-MS and spectrophotometry. |
Optional functional validation with qPCR. |
Key Features |
Dual- or single-labeled options |
Wide selection of fluorescent dyes |
Multiple quencher choices |
High purity and sequence fidelity |
Compatible with major qPCR platforms |
Lyophilized format for long-term stability |
Nuclease-free production |
Preparation |
To prepare lyophilized TaqMan® probes as a 100 μM stock product, they should be reconstituted with nuclease-free water or TE buffer at the volume specified during quality control. |
Do not vortex; mix by pipetting. |
The required volume is stated on the product label and in the user guide. |
Shelf Life |
Lyophilized probes stable 1 year at +4°C; after dissolution in nuclease-free water or TE buffer, stable up to 6 months at -20°C. |
Delivery |
Shipped within 1–3 business days in lyophilized, vacuum-sealed, moisture-protected tubes with UV-protected packaging. |
The accompanying guide includes: Sequence information, Scale and Purification method, Sequence Length, Tm, GC, MW, nmol, A260, OD, µl required for 100 µM stock |
Common Applications |
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) |
Conventional PCR with labeled detection probes |
Southern and Northern blot assays |
Genotyping and SNP analysis |
Mutation detection and allelic discrimination assays |
Pathogen detection in clinical and environmental samples |
