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.
- The CleanSpot is designed to fulfill a very important laboratory need...control of PCR contamination.
- Just 25 - 30 minutes of UV irradiation in the CleanSpot can prevent unwanted PCR contamination.
- The combination of a special light reflector and two powerful overhead UV bulbs generate Pyrimidine Dimers (T,C) and other photo defects in contaminating target sequences, thus eliminating falsely primed products that result in countless lost time and expense.
- The CleanSpot is designed to prevent unwanted contaminant DNA in amplification mixtures, thereby saving many lost hours and expensive samples.
- The UV resistant acrylic enclosure provides a contained, dead air space in which to set up your reactions and permits safe 254nm UV irradiation of solutions and supplies. This powerful UV wavelength renders DNA contaminants biologically inactive in 30 minutes or less.
- The thick front panel is an effective beta irradiation shield as well as acting as a breath guard. An overhead fluorescent light illuminates the work area.
- Dimensions: 18"L x 24"W x 28"H

The Rotocycler 72 facilitates the handling and insertion of caps on the tubes by offering a special solid aluminum loading rack. This rack can hold up to 18 x 0.1 mL tube strips for a total of 72 tubes. Other cavities can hold larger reaction tubes. To keep reactions cool during setup, simply place the rack in a refrigerated area. For easy reference, all wells are numbered. Color coding is made possible by inserting a Capinsert in up to two locations on the rack.
Includes: Rotocycler 72 and 500 assorted color coding inserts

- 400 specific qPCR reagent kits available.
Performance
- Consistent results provide trust and confidence. Well-to-well, run-to-run , machine-to-machine.
- Compile data from multiple experiments. Pool plates and results across labs and instruments.

- Adaptive LED Control means you never have uncertainty of saturated unknowns, no bleaching though light to neighboring wells or maximizing the wide dynamic range. Trust results are correct.
- All other block-based qPCR machines have lower uniformity. If you perform Next Generation Sequencing, any other instrument than Prime Pro 48 is risking your NGS, with significant cost implications.
Value
- No other qPCR system offers so much performance for such a low price.
- Available as a complete system - Techne instrument, plates, seals and reagents.
- Alternatively, is chemically open platform - use your preferred supplier reagents.
- Lowest price per run - use duplicates and low sample volumes. Don't waste money with triplicates and large sample volumes.
- Everything as standard - no add-ons, HRM as standard, unlimited software license.
- Highly accurate and uniform qPCR prevents means successful NGS runs and significant moneysaving.
Sensitivity
- ±0.1°C uniformity across the whole block instantly after every temperature change means that any well, in any instrument, provides same answer
- HRM - Identify Class IV SNP >99.9% of the time
- Unsurpassed block uniformity with patented block technology enables the researcher to use duplicates on Prime Pro 48, whereas triplicates are required on less uniform competitor machines.
The Prime Pro 48 real time PCR system is a new, high specification, economically priced real time thermal cycler from Techne. Made in the UK, the Prime Pro 48 features the highest thermal block uniformity and fastest run time of any block-based qPCR system on the market.
High thermal uniformity and validated sample volumes down to 5ul ensures Prime Pro 48 allows researchers to bring run times for an optimized 40 cycle reaction down to only 15 minutes. PCR efficiency relies on precise temperature control during the denaturation and annealing steps. For the highest accuracy, temperature must remain uniform across the plate, ensuring that all samples are processed equally. The unique thermal block design of Prime Pro 48 achieves this with a
unique heating and cooling system that quickly cycles from one temperature to the next and then achieves a uniform ±0.1°C in every well of the block within a fraction of a second of reaching each dwell temperature. No other block-based qPCR system can achieve similar performance.
The capacity of Prime Pro 48 accommodates a unique and economical 48-well PCR plate, the size of which is only 1/8 the size of a standard 96-well plate. The well format mirrors a 384-well plate therefore allowing the use of a 16-channel micropipette. The small plate cuts reagent costs in half whilst still producing a strong fluorescence signal. Minimizing the plate size also significantly improves thermal uniformity.
