Important considerations
Instrument compatibility: Different real-time PCR instruments require different levels of ROX passive
reference. Generally, modern instruments do not require passive reference but include the option to use
it for normalisation. Please check our qPCRBIO Selection Tool to determine which ROX concentration your
instrument requires (https://pcrbio.com/resources/qpcr-selection-tool/).

Primer design: For efficient amplification under fast cycling conditions we recommend amplicon
lengths between 80 bp and 200 bp. With all manufacturers, the shorter the amplicon length,
the faster the reaction can be cycled. Amplicon lengths should not exceed 400 bp. Primers
should have a predicted melting temperature of around 60 °C, using default Primer 3 settings
(http://bioinfo.ut.ee/primer3/). For TaqMan® probes, choose a probe close to the 5’ primer and avoid
terminal guanosine residues.

Template concentration: As target copy number will vary, it is important to select the correct template
concentration to correctly quantify the target sequence. A good concentration will display clear
separation between amplification curves (Fig.1). At lower template concentrations, the amplification
curves will begin to group together and Ct values will not fit the standard curve (Fig.2).
