Competitive advantage
Recent studies have shown that the TB Green Advantage qPCR Premix is superior to corresponding reagents offered by three leading competitors in the qPCR arena, in terms of reaction specificity, amplification efficiency, and sensitivity, as well as speed.
-
More specific than Competitor R
Competitor R's real-time PCR enzyme showed poor reaction specificity when compared to the TB Green Advantage qPCR Premix. This was evidenced by multiple peaks in the melting curve for Competitor R's enzyme, particularly when low-copy-number templates were amplified.
-
More efficient than Competitor A
Competitor A's SYBR qPCR master mix showed a lower amplification efficiency than that of the TB Green Advantage qPCR Premix. This was indicated by Ct values that were shifted to the right.
-
More specific than Competitor I
The TB Green Advantage qPCR Premix demonstrated superior reaction specificity when compared to Competitor I's SYBR qPCR master mix. This was indicated by tighter peaks in the melting curve for the Takara Bio enzyme.
-
Twice as fast as Competitor A
Excellent results were obtained in about half the time (50 min versus 90 min) when using the TB Green Advantage qPCR Premix as opposed to Competitor A's master mix for probe-based qPCR assays (data not shown). These experiments were carried out with the Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time PCR System.
Clearly, the Takara Bio TB Green Advantage qPCR Premix outperforms much of the competition in terms of specificity (melting curves indicate the presence of a single product), efficiency, and sensitivity (lower Ct values in the amplification plots). Moreover, when using our TB Green Advantage qPCR Premix, qPCR analysis can be accomplished in nearly half of the time required for other qPCR chemistries.
