1.
HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase not activated
Check whether PCR was started with
an initial incubation step at 95C for 15 min.
2.
Pipetting error or missing reagent
Repeat the PCR. Check the concentrations
and storage conditions of reagents, including primers and dNTP
mix. In the case of HotStarTaq Master Mix, ensure that a 1:1
ratio of HotStarTaq Master Mix to primertemplate solution
is maintained.
3.
PCR cycling conditions are not optimal
Using the same cycling conditions,
repeat the PCR using Q-Solution.
4.
Primer concentration not optimal
or primers degraded
Repeat the PCR with different primer
concen trations from 0.10.5 M of each primer (in
0.1-M steps). In particular, when performing highly sensitive
PCR, check for possible degradation of the primers on a denaturing
polyacrylamide gel.
5.
Problems with starting template
Check the concentration, storage
conditions, and quality of the starting template (see appendix).
If necessary, make new serial dilutions of template nucleic
acid from stock solutions. Repeat the PCR using the new dilutions.
