Fast PCR Protocol Templates

The following PCR protocol templates can be quickly programmed into your cycler to help you get started with fast PCR.

Two-step fast PCR protocol using iTaq polymerase
(iTAQ-FST Protocol)

98°C for 30 sec    
     
92°C for 1 sec } x 35 cycles
70°C for 10 sec*
     
72°C for 15 sec    

*Optimal annealing extension times will be 10–30 sec for targets up to 500 bp.

(iPRF1kb Protocol)

95°C for 2 min    
     
95°C for 5 sec } x 20 cycles
72°C for 30 sec
     
72°C for 10 min    

Two-step PCR protocol using iProof polymerase for longer (8 kb) targets
(iPRF8kb Protocol)

95°C for 2 min    
     
95°C for 5 sec } x 20 cycles
72°C for 4 min
     
72°C for 10 min    

Two-step PCR protocol using iProof polymerase for extra long (15 kb) targets
(iPRF15kb Protocol)

95°C for 2 min    
     
95°C for 5 sec } x 20 cycles
72°C for 7 min, 30 sec
     
72°C for 10 min
