Thermo Fisher Scientific has added colour to a range of its high-performance Thermo Scientific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) master mixes, PCR plates and PCR master mixes to optimise reproducibility, sensitivity and accuracy.
The inert red dye in Thermo Scientific ReddyMix PCR buffers and master mixes allows the solution to be visualised easily in reaction wells, thereby ensuring error-free pipetting and accurate PCR analysis. It also allows samples to be loaded directly on agarose gel for post-PCR analysis without the need to add a gel-loading dye, thus minimising pipetting and reagent handling steps and saving valuable time. The ultra-rigid Thermo Scientific ABgene SuperPlates are available in white, which permits optimum light transmission and efficient fluorescence detection during QPCR reactions, ensuring improved sensitivity and consistency of results.
The blue colour in Thermo Scientific ABsolute Blue and Verso master mixes provides immediate visual confirmation of accurate pipetting, minimising false results and ensuring excellent reproducibility in QPCR and RT-QPCR reactions. This is particularly important when using white plates, which improve light transmission but make it difficult to see colourless solutions.
