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.

ThermalSeal® RTS Silicone Sealing Film

 Optically Clear, Pressure Activated, Non-tacky Silicone.
 
The silicone adhesive is non-tacky until pressure is applied to the sealing surface which then creates a secure bond around the wells and perimeter of the plate. Also ideal for dry samples (e.g. soil, seeds, insects, etc.) because the non-activated adhesive above the wells remains non-tacky. A roller or sealing paddle is highly recommended for use with this product to ensure consistent and adequate pressure is applied during the sealing process. 

  • Provides an extremely strong seal to minimize evaporation
  • Certified DNase- & RNase- free
  • Chemically resistant to DMSO, acetonitrile, and methanol
  • Ideal for use with flat-top, raised-rim and non-skirted PCR plates
  • High optical clarity and low auto-fluorescence
  • Available in roll format for automation: ThermalSeal® RTS Roll-Seal
  • A complimentary sealing paddle is included in each box

Applications

  • qPCR
  • Long-term storage
  • Protein crystallography
  • HPLC
Temp. Range
  • -80°C to +105°C

Helpful Tips

  • Sufficient pressure must be applied to activate the silicone adhesive
  • Multiple swipes of the sealing paddle in both directions is highly recommended
  • A 10 minute or greater wait period before thermal cycling increases the film-to-plate bond
