Thermo-Start Taq DNA Polymerase is a hot-start enzyme combined with an optimized buffer system that gives superior specificity and sensitivity. The chemically modified Thermo-Start Taq remains completely inactive until it is switched on by a high temperature incubation step at the start of the PCR reaction. This prevents nonspecific amplification during reaction setup, eliminating smearing and the formation of nontarget bands.…

Thermo Scientific Gene Frame products feature a dual strength adhesive system which facilitates the easy removal of the frames after use. The adhesives on either side of the frame are of differing strengths; the side which adheres to the glass has an easy release adhesive whereas the reverse, which sticks to the coverslip, forms a stronger bond. This means that when the coverslip is removed, due to the disparity in the strengt…
