PR1MA™ Untreated Multi-Well Plates

• Available in 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, and 96-well format

• Polystyrene, NOT Tissue Culture Treated (suspension culture)

• Sterile (gamma irradiated)

• Plates are labeled with alpha-numeric markings for easy identification of individual wells

• Each well has a raised rim that nests into the rings on the single-direction lid to reduce evaporation and limit the risk of cross-contamination

PR1MA™ SmartGlow™ DNA Safe Stain

• Replaces hazardous Ethidium Bromide (EtBr)
• Better sensitivity than EtBr
• Detect as little as 0.1ng of DNA
• Two types available
• PS Pre Stain
• LD Loading Dye
• Excitation by UV light or blue light
• Compatible with Accuris SmartBlue™ Transilluminator
• Ships at ambient temperature (stored at 4°C)

PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS (Pre-Stain) can be used as a direct replacement for Ethidium Bromide in agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The stain emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA or ssDNA and emits red fluorescence when bound to RNA. PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS exhibits excitation peaks at 290 nm and 490 nm, allowing it to be used with UV and blue light.

Protocol:

• Prepare 100 mL of agarose or polyacrylamide solution.
• Add 5 uL of PR1MA™ SmartStain™ to the gel solution before pouring gels.
• For enhanced results, add PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS to the running buffer at a ratio of 5 uL per 100 mL. Adding PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS to the running buffer will result in increased sensitivity and better detection of small quantities of nucleic acid.
• After electrophoresis is complete, view the gel using a UV or blue light illuminator

IsoFreeze® PCR Color-Change Racks

IsoFreeze PCR and IsoFreeze PCR SBS are innovative, high-performance, personal chiller racks. Using proven IsoFreeze temperature maintenance technology, the filled racks maintain a cool (refrigerator) environment on the bench or the workstation platform. This helps maintain a stable environment for PCR reagents, cells, enzymes, or other temperature-sensitive reagents. Industry Standard format tubes, strips, and 96 well plates, in both standard and low profile well shapes, are accommodated and are efficiently cooled in PCR, QPCR, and many other applications.

IsoFreeze PCR Racks are manufactured using polypropylene containing temperature-dependent, color-change dye giving at-a-glance temperature indication for each well. There is a dramatic change to a contrasting color at 7ºC. IsoFreeze gel technology means the wells will stay cool for up to 4 hours, depending on ambient temperature and other factors.

• Available in 2 color changing formats
• Material: Rugged polypropylene and inert gel
• Holds 0.1 or 0.2 mL tubes, strip tubes, and plates up to 96 - well
• Maintains temperature of less than 4°C for up to 2.5 or 3 hours depending on rack
