PCR/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.

Accuris™ E3200 UV Transilluminator
Accuris™ UV Transilluminators feature space-saving designs, to fit perfectly in any busy laboratory. Three models are available, with a range of intensity settings and viewing surface sizes. Choose your model depending on your application and the size or number of gels to analyze.
The E3200 offers a large viewing surface of 21 x 26 cm to accommodate larger gels or multiple small gels. High powered, 14W UV bulbs provide higher sensitivity, so the smallest bands of stained nucleic acids can be visualized. The E3200 also features a control knob for continuous adjustment of the UV intensity.
All Accuris™ UV Transilluminators incorporate scratch-resistant, UV filter glass. Peak output emission of 302 nm is ideal for excitation of gels stained with Ethidium Bromide, SmartGlow, SYBR Green and other common gel stains.
Acrylic UV blocking covers allow safe viewing of samples, and friction hinges on the front edge allow positioning of the cover at an angle for gel access.

Accuris qMAX™ One Step Kits allow for highly sensitive real time RT-qPCR assays to be performed directly from RNA templates. Workflows are simplified with optimized formulations of ready-to-use 2X qPCR master mix and 20X reverse transcriptase.
Optimized buffer includes powerful RNase inhibitors, and an extremely thermostable MMLV-derived reverse transcriptase enables robust first strand cDNA synthesis. Accuris Hot Start Taq uses an antibody mediated hot start mechanism allowing for sample preparation at room temperature. Only after an initial incubation at 95C will the Taq become active, so non-specific amplification is greatly reduced. An inert blue dye is included in the Taq master mix to help simplify pipetting and reduce errors.
Three versions of our One Step qPCR kits are available:
qMAX Green One Step kits incorporate our proprietary intercalating dye which exhibits higher fluorescent and lower PCR inhibition than other popular dyes such as SYBR.
qMAX Probe One Step kits are optimized for use with popular TaqMan, Scorpions, and molecular beacon probes.
qMAX Probe One Step Multiplex kits are specifically developed and optimized for efficient probe-based detection of multiple targets in a single reaction well. The Multiplex formulation is comprised of a 20x reverse transcriptase and 2x PCR Mix preparation ideally suited for complex RNA samples including low-copy number viral RNA commonly used in the clinical and research laboratory. qMAX Probe One Step Multiplex kits have been designed to overcome the many challenges of multiplex RT-PCR, by addressing important factors such as the balance between magnesium chloride and deoxynucleotide concentrations, the relative Taq Polymerase and reverse transcriptase concentration, and the ionic conditions of the core reaction buffer.
All Accuris One-Step Kits are compatible with standard and fast cycling protocols and provide increased sensitivity, speed, and reproducibility for a broad range of samples and targets. The polymerase mix is available with different levels of ROX reference dye for compatibility with all qPCR instruments.

PR1MA™ Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase
PR1MA™ Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (cUNG) is a recombinant, thermolabile enzyme that removes uracil from DNA. It is ideal for preventing carry over contamination during RNA or DNA amplification reactions that substitute dUTP for dTTP. cUNG is the only commercially available UNG that is completely and irreversibly inactivated by moderate heat treatment, unlike bacterial versions of the enzyme. Cod UNG treatment in combination with targeted pre-amplification using dUTP provides a simple and efficient solution to eliminate carry-over contamination and the generation of false positives and inaccurate quantification.
