This ROX formulation is a passive reference dye for qPCR application. The use of this dye is recommended for the normalization of fluorescence intensity of qPCR reporter dyes, such as SYBR Green I or TaqMan probes. It also allows to correct for pipeting errors, and instrumental drift such as change of lamp intensity output over time.
The ROX dye contains 25 μM solution of 5-carboxy-ROX (rhodamine-X) reference dye in 10mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.6), 0.1mM EDTA, and 0.01% Tween®-20.
ROX reference dye is compatible with all qPCR instruments with ROX channel. Most instruments require either 500 nM or 50 nM end concentration of ROX.
