Product Highlights

• Convenient format - pre-mixed, pre-optimized 2x solutions
• Versatile - suitable for routine PCR applications
• Ready-to-use - reduces contamination risks
• Suitable for TA cloning - leaves 'A' overhang
• Direct gel loading - eliminates the need for further processing following reaction completion

Product Description

BioMix™ Red is a complete ready-to-use 2x reaction mix containing a stable Taq DNA polymerase. It contains an additional inert red dye that permits easy visualization and direct loading onto a gel. There is no need to add loading buffer as the mix is of sufficiently high density to sink to the bottom of the gel. The red dye migrates like a 350 bp fragment on a 2% agarose TAE gel (or 600 bp on a 1% agarose).

BioMix Red has been developed to perform PCR assays of many common genomic and cDNA templates; the user has simply to add water, template and primers. It reduces the time required to set-up reactions, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination. Reproducibility is ensured by reducing the number of pipetting steps that can lead to errors.

BioMix Red is supplied with additional MgCl₂ solution should any fine adjustments be required.

Applications

• Routine PCR applications
