Outstanding Performance
TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix is designed to provide performance equal to or better than standard master mixes. It has been benchmarked against standard and fast master mixes from leading vendors to help ensure best-in-class sensitivity, accuracy, dynamic range and specificity are delivered. The dynamic range of TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix (up to 7 log ranges) is the broadest in the industry. The figure below demonstrates the amazing sensitivity of TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix and TaqMan Universal PCR Master Mix by comparing the Ct values of this master mix in a panel of gene expression assay kits

Benchtop Stability, Achieve high-throughput processing and convenience
TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix is designed to maintain high levels of performance for up to 72 hours in prepackaged reactions. The high stability of this master mix ensures users of high-throughput liquid handling systems that the results from the first assay plate will be similar to the results from the last assay plate. The figure below shows the analysis run at the time of assembly (time 0) and after incubation for 72 hours at 30°C, simulating an extreme room temperature scenario.

For users without extremely high throughput requirements, the enhanced stability of this master mix improves the overall ease of workflow as you are no longer limited to running assay plates immediately after assembly.

Optimized for multi-pass detection
We realize that the reliability of our results is critical. TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix is designed to provide accurate results for dual reactions using an internal positive control (IPC). The graph below shows the results for the experimental target β-actin (gene name: ACTB), which was serially diluted and amplified in single target reactions and dual reactions.

Validated for microRNA assays
TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix has been validated for use in a variety of real-time PCR applications, including microRNA assays. The formulation provides high specificity and dynamic range, two critical properties that define successful results when working with microRNA. The data in the graph below shows excellent linearity of the PCR over a 6-log range of the starting template.

Shorten run time on standard instruments
TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix is optimized for use with both fast and standard instruments, allowing researchers who currently have standard instruments to Gain the performance benefits and efficiencies offered by this master mix. The graph below demonstrates the impressive results achieved using TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix on the Applied Biosystems 7300 Real-Time PCR System under rapid thermal cycling conditions. This master mix has been tested on all Applied Biosystems standard real-time PCR instruments, ensuring success whether you have a fast-start instrument or not.
