PCR Master Mix(a,b) includes Nuclease-Free Water and PCR Master Mix, 2X. PCR Master Mix is a premixed, ready-to-use solution containing Taq DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and reaction buffers at optimal concentrations for efficient amplification of DNA templates by PCR. The PCR Master Mix has been optimized for use in routine PCR for amplifying DNA templates in the range of 0.2–2kb.

The GoTaq®Real-Time PCR Systems are ready-to-use 2X master mixes optimized for quantitative PCR in dye (using BRYT(R) Green Dye) or hydrolysis probe detection format.   The 1-Step and 2-Step RT-qPCR Master Mixes contain GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase for efficient first-strand cDNA synthesis.     GoTaq Real-Time PCR Systems Features & Benefits: Higher fluorescence, often resulting in earlier Cqs Direct su…

The PowerPlex® Fusion System is a 24-locus multiplex for human identification applications including forensic analysis, relationship testing and research use.   The PowerPlex® Fusion System provides all of the materials needed for co-amplification and five-color fluorescent detection of 24 loci (23 STR loci and Amelogenin), including the CODIS core loci and the European Standard Set (ESS) loci. With 24 loci, the sys…

The Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit provides a simple, solution-based method for isolation of DNA from white blood cells, tissue culture cells, animal tissue, plant tissue, yeast and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.   DNA purified with this system is suitable for a variety of applications, including amplification, digestion with restriction endonucleases and membrane hybridizations (e.g., Southern and dot/s…

The GoTaq® Probe 1-Step RT-qPCR System is optimized for quantitative PCR assays in the hydrolysis probe detection format. The system enables detection and relative quantification of RNA expression levels using a one-step RT-qPCR method, combining GoScript™ Reverse Transcriptase and GoTaq® Probe qPCR Master Mix in single-step real-time amplification reactions. The GoScript™ RT Mix for 1-Step RT-qPCR (50X) combines optimi…

The ReliaPrep™ RNA Miniprep Systems provide a fast and simple technique for preparation of intact total RNA from cultured cells or tissue in as little as 30 minutes.   The proprietary column/binding matrix can efficiently capture RNA from very small amounts of input material, isolating RNA eluted in a minimal volume (less than 15µl). Using this membrane-based purification system, from 100 to 5 × 106 cultured cells or fro…

The Wizard® SV Gel and PCR Clean-Up System is designed to extract and purify DNA fragments of 100bp to 10kb from standard or low-melting agarose gels or to purify products directly from PCR and other common reactions such as restriction digests.   Up to 95% recovery is achieved depending upon the DNA fragment size. PCR products are commonly purified to remove excess nucleotides and primers. This membrane-based system, wh…

The PureYield™ Plasmid Miniprep System is designed to rapidly isolate highly pure plasmid DNA.   The system provides a rapid method for purification of up to 15μg of plasmid DNA from 600μl to 3ml of bacteria culture. Plasmid DNA can be purified in as little as 10 minutes. The PureYield™ Plasmid Miniprep System incorporates a unique Endotoxin Removal Wash designed to remove substantial amounts of protein, RNA and endotoxi…

The PowerPlex® 21 System is a multiplex STR system for human identification applications including forensic analysis, relationship testing and research use.   The PowerPlex® 21 System is more tolerant of PCR inhibitors than other STR systems including the PowerPlex® 16 HS System. This allows more interpretable data and less need for re-amplification of samples previously deemed "difficult" due to the presence of inhibito…

The Maxwell® 16 LEV simplyRNA Kits are for use with the Maxwell® 16 Instrument configured with the LEV High Strength Magnetic Rod and Plunger Bar Adaptor.   This RNA purification procedure is a simple method with minimal lysate handling before automated purification on the Maxwell® 16 Instrument. The low elution volume is used to generate concentrated high-quality RNA suitable for use in downstream applications such…
