Hot Start PCR

Abstract: Hot Start activation approaches are increasingly being used to improve the performance of PCR. Since the inception of Hot Start as a means of blocking DNA polymerase extension at lower temperatures, a number of approaches have been developed that target the essential reaction components such as magnesium ion, DNA polymerase, oligonucleotide primers, and dNTPs. Herein, five different Hot Start activation protocols are presented. The first method presents the use of barriers as a means of segregating key reactio… Show more

“…The smart technology, which is considered the most advanced approach to obtain the full length cDNA of a certain gene with a partial known sequence, was chosen for the full length cDNA of the HTA gene (11). At the same time, hot start PCR polymerase was applied to avoid non-specific amplification in lower temperatures (14) and a touch-down PCR program was applied to avoid non-specific amplification in early cycles and to improve the efficiency of specific amplification in later cycles of the program (15).…”

“…However, these methods suffer from the unwanted characteristic that the amplification reaction is expected to proceed at room temperature if the nucleic acid sample is premixed with initiation reagents prior to compartmentalization. Conversely, in digital PCR the amplification reaction is controlled by temperature and any low-temperature non-specific pre-amplification process can be eliminated by using specific procedures [ 105 ]. As a consequence of that, the mixture can be compartmentalized prior to initiation with minimal risk of false positives if the infrastructure for an accurate temperature control is readily available.…”
