What is the difference between Forget-Me-Not™, Fast EvaGreen®, and Fast Plus EvaGreen® Master Mixes?

Ask a question

Biotium offers three different EvaGreen® dye-based qPCR master mixes:

  • Forget-Me-Not™ qPCR Master Mix
  • Fast EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mix
  • Fast Plus EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mix

All three master mixes contain our high-quality EvaGreen® DNA-binding dye and our fast-activating chemically-modified hotstart enzyme, Cheetah™ Taq.

Forget-Me-Not™ qPCR Master Mix is our newest master mix formulation. For most purposes this is the master mix that we would recommend, as it has many benefits: best sensitivity and signal, blue tracking dyes in the master mix and template to reduce pipetting errors, and low cost. Fast EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mix is a sensitive, general use master mix that does not contain blue tracking dyes. Fast Plus EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mix has a slightly different formulation than the regular Fast EvaGreen® qPCR Master Mix, and was designed for more challenging samples.
