reagents, and primers. Often, cycling parameters need to be changed.
In many cases, results are still disappointing and further optimization
is required. QIAGEN now offers the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kit,
which eliminates the need for optimization, making the development
of multiplex PCR assays both simple and fast. The QIAGEN Multiplex
PCR Kit is the first kit specifically developed for multiplex PCR
and provides an easy-to-use master-mix format. QIAGEN Multiplex PCR
Master Mix contains pre-optimized concentrations of HotStarTaq DNA
Polymerase and MgCl2, plus dNTPs and an innovative PCR buffer specially
developed for multiplex PCR. The new PCR buffer contains a balanced
combination of salts and additives, which enables comparable efficiencies
for annealing and extension of all primers in the reaction. The kit
is highly suited for multiplex PCR applications such as typing of
genetically modified animals and plants, microsatellite analysis,
determination of bacteria and viruses, or amplification of regions
carrying SNPs. For more information about the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR
Kit, contact your local QIAGEN Technical Services or distributor (see

5. RT-PCR
To perform PCR using RNA as a starting template, the RNA must
first be reverse transcribed into cDNA in a reverse transcriptase
reaction (RT reaction). Failure of the subsequent PCR is often a result
of the limitations of the RT reaction. On average, only 1030%
of the original RNA molecules is reverse transcribed into cDNA. The
expression level of the target RNA molecules and the relati
