Abstrakt: Real-time PCR with intercalating dyes can only be performed once. The expensive fluorescent hydrolysis probes are target specific and are suitable to detect multiplex targets. Uracil-DNA N-glycosylase (UNG), which specifically hydrolyzes and degrades any uracil-containing PCR products, is often applied before PCR to reduce carryover contamination. We developed an optimized protocol for recovering DNA from PCR products and revaluating by real-time PCR with intercalating dye using UNG processing, which is particularly useful when the sample volume is very small and insufficient for multiple assays of real-time PCR.•A real-time PCR master mix with dUTP instead of dTTP was used.•UNG at 1 % and 10 % concentrations of PCR product volumes were used for the first and second processing.•The second real-time PCR was performed with different primer pairs than the first real-time PCR.
