Description

General description

Mineral oil is used as a reaction mix overlay in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) to prevent reaction solutions from evaporating during the thermal cycling in PCR instruments without heated lids.

Application

Mineral oil has been used:

for routine PCR amplifications
to improve the heat conductivity between the device and the cycler during reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) amplification
to prevent evaporation during single-cell MATQ-sequencing performed on Bravo automated liquid handling platform

Features and Benefits

Provided in a convenient 5 × 1.5 mL (1 vial) pack size
Tested for the absence of DNase, RNase, and protease.
