ActionsPCR/qPCR
MIDSCI can supply almost every needed product for PCR/qPCR: tubes, plates, strips, caps, taq, Mastermixes, dNPTs, dye and probe for qPCR, sealing film and much more. If you are looking for any of these things, we can match almost all needs to all cyclers. If you don’t find it easily contact us at tech@midsci.com and we will find it for you.
96 or 384 we have it. Non-Skirted, semi-skirted or full skirted, we have it. 0.1, 0.2, or 0.5 mL we have it. A1, A12, H12, A24, P24 cuts, we have them. Sybr© Green or probe alternative, we have it.
Pro Tip: Colored plastics do not have any impact on DNA amplification. But when setting up qPCR it is often recommended to use white plastics. This will limit or prevent fluorescence refraction. Light refraction can minimize sensitivity and consistency.
Pro Tip 2: If you are seeing inconsistencies in PCR/qPCR try PR1MA Pipette Tips. This will help optimize and reduce variance in the reactions. Simple test, see the residual liquid left in tips? This means some of the taq, dNTPs, sample, etc is left in the tip. PR1MA tips help reduce that significantly and improve your consistency.
Pro Tip 3: Seeing evaporation in the outer wells of a PCR/qPCR plate? Sometimes it’s the plate, sometimes it the seal, and sometimes it’s the cycler. Call us we have solutions.
The RotoCycler Discs are specially made to be used with the Qiagen Rotor-Gene Q Real-Time Rotary Analyzer. Two models are available: a 72-well format with 100 µL tubes and a 100-well format for reactions up to 25 µL. The discs a"one-piece "plate" equivalent, having vertically oriented wells compatible with automated reaction setup using a robotic liquid handling system.

- Higher sensitivity
- Use in the same way as EtBr in agarose gel electrophoresis
- Detection of DNA and RNA
- Safest DNA stain by far
- Low cost
- 10,000X
- Excitation wavelengths at 290nm and 490nm
DNA SafeStain Plus is a highly sensitive green fluorescent DNA/RNA staining reagent for detecting nucleic acids in agarose and polyacrylamide gels. This unique stain gives high sensitivity for detection of double-stranded or single-stranded DNA and RNA. Gels can be post-stained or the stain can be added to gels during gel casting or to the gel running buffer. DNA SafeStain Plus has two excitation wavelength peaks at about 290nm and 490nm, and an emission wavelength at 530nm, making it compatible with a standard UV light box, a blue-light transilluminator, or a gel reader equipped with visible light excitation; such as, a 488 nm laser-based gel scanner.
DNA SafeStain Plus is in a 10,000X concentrated format that can be easily diluted 10,000 times for use in precast gel staining, or 5,000 times for use in post gel staining.
Please know that the manufacturer has suspended manufacturing this product indefinitely.
