Oligonucleotide Quality Control by Mass Spectrometry
Mass Spectrometry is the technology of choice for analyzing oligonucleotide synthesis. It enables the most sensitive detection of low levels of by-products, which can affect performance.
ThermaGenix Product Overview
How to stop nonspecific bands and off target primers in PCR.
Quantitative PCR and Digital PCR Detection Methods
Fluorescent dyes or probes are included in PCR mixes to monitor the change in NA amplicon concentration as the reaction proceeds.
PCR Troubleshooting Tips
When developing a PCR troubleshooting protocol, it is important to be open to any possible sources of error, however insignificant they may seem, in order to explore each potential problem independently.
RT-PCR / RT-qPCR Troubleshooting
Developing a PCR or RT-PCR/RT-qPCR troubleshooting protocol so that data are reliable is essential. Potential sources of RT-PCR or PCR error and problems include operator error, the PCR master mix, and oligo design. This PCR troubleshooting guide outlines and details
FastStart™ Taq DNA Polymerase, 5 U/μL Protocol & Troubleshooting
The choice of the PCR enzyme in combination with an appropriate buffer can profoundly affect PCR outcome.
Whole Transcriptome Amplification of RNA from Low Cell-Number Samples
The efficacy of amplification of small quantities of total RNA with the Complete Whole Transcriptome Amplification Kit (WTA2) was examined in this study.
PCR Master Mix
A PCR master mix is a batch of PCR or RT-PCR reagents that can be divided among many PCR reaction tubes. It usually includes DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and buffer. Make your own master mix or choose a commercial one.
5'/3' RACE Kit, 2nd Generation Troubleshooting
In addition to the troubleshooting provided in the product manual, most probably the efficiency of the tailing reaction performed by Terminal Transferase could be impaired. This could occur due to several reasons (which will not only affect the control reaction
A highly efficient method to concentrate DNA for forensic STR genotyping using DNAstable®
Forensic laboratories routinely use STR genotyping for identity testing of biological samples. However, forensic samples often contain low copy numbers of target DNA, making it difficult to obtain complete STR profiles.
MIQE – Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments
Our qPCR services, including primer and probe designs, assay protocol development, troubleshooting, and data analysis support, adhere to MIQE, which allows you to publish or bring your product to market faster and with confidence.
PCR/qPCR/dPCR Assay Design
The entire PCR workflow is vulnerable to factors which introduce variability. Many of the variable components are unavoidable, such as the source of the sample or the requirement for a reverse transcription step. Assay design is also highly variable and
Colony PCR
Colony PCR reagents and our colony PCR protocol using REDExtract-N-Amp™ PCR ReadyMix™ and JumpStart™ REDTaq® PCR ReadyMix™ reagents.
Oligonucleotide Quantification
DNA can be easily quantitated in a UV spectrometer due to its highly conjugated nature.
Extract-N-Amp™ Product Guide
Extract-N-Amp™ PCR kits are the world’s first integrated extraction and amplification process for rapid blood, tissue or plant assays.
Troubleshooting for Molecular Cloning
Molecular cloning is the process of inserting the gene-of-interest (GOI) into a plasmid vector and this vector is then inserted into a cell that expresses the protein encoded by the GOI. Once protein is expressed in the cell, the protein
Dual-Labeled Probes in Digital PCR
