PerfeCTa® PreAmp SuperMix is a 5X concentrated, ready to use reaction cocktail for unbiased, selected enrichment of target sequences from limited amounts of starting material for downstream gene expression profiling or targeted resequencing. It contains all components, except primers and templates. The 5X concentrated SuperMix allows addition of higher template volumes when working with low concentration samples, and/or reduced reaction volumes. Inclusion of an inert light blue tracer dye helps visualise small reaction volumes and ensure accurate pipetting.

The Mag-Bind® Plant DNA 96 plus kit allows rapid and reliable isolation of high-quality genomic DNA from a wide variety of difficult to lyse and high polysaccharide plant species and tissues. The system utilises a CTAB-based lysis buffer without the need for a chloroform or other organic solvent steps. The proprietary wash buffer systems eliminate polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and enzyme inhibitors from plant tissue lysates. This kit is designed for manual or fully automated high throughput preparation of genomic, chloroplast, and mitochondrial DNA. The Mag-Bind® Plant DNA plus kit also provides greater flexibility than silica plate based systems as partial plates can be used and can be scaled up to a 24-well format with the appropriate magnetic stand. The streamlined protocol can be easily adapted on most robotic liquid handling platforms. Purified DNA is suitable for PCR, qPCR, restriction digestion, hybridisation applications, as well as more demanding applications, such as RAPD.

The Mag-Bind® PX blood RNA kit allows for the isolation of total RNA from 2,5 ml of whole blood that has been stored in PAXgene® Blood RNA tubes. Stabilised blood samples are first spun down and the nucleic acid pellets are washed and recollected. After washing, the nucleic acid pellet is dissolved into a specially formulated resuspension buffer. At this point the samples can be transferred to 96-well plates for processing in robotic liquid handlers and magnetic processors. High quality intact RNA can be isolated in less than 90 minutes.

PerfeCTa® MultiPlex qPCR ToughMix® is a 5X concentrated, ready to use reaction cocktail for Real-Time quantitative PCR (qPCR) that overcomes many known inhibitors of PCR often present in crude samples extracted from environmental specimens, plant tissues, or animal tissues. It contains all components, except primers, probes and templates. The 5X concentrated ToughMix® allows addition of higher amounts of template and improved detection sensitivity with low concentration samples. PerfeCta® MultiPlex qPCR ToughMix® has been optimised to deliver maximum PCR efficiency, sensitivity, and specificity in reduced reaction volumes with fast cycle or conventional PCR cycling protocols.

Taq DNA polymerase is a thermostable DNA polymerase isolated from an E. coli strain that carries the Taq DNA polymerase gene.

Supplier: OMEGA BIO-TEK

The E.Z.N.A.® bacterial DNA kit allows the rapid and reliable isolation of high quality total cellular DNA from a wide variety of bacterial species. This kit uses optimised lysis condition and up to 1×10⁹ bacterial cells can be processed for each column. There are no organic extractions, thus reducing plastic waste and hands on time to allow multiple samples to be processed in parallel. Bacterial cells are grown to log-phase and harvested. The cell wall is removed by lysozyme digestion and bead beating, followed by protease digestion. Following lysis, binding conditions are adjusted and the sample is applied to a HiBind DNA spin-column. Two rapid wash steps remove trace salts and protein contaminants, and DNA is finally eluted in water or elution buffer. Purified DNA can be directly used in downstream applications without the need for further purification.
