·       Polypropylene wells provide optimal thermal transfer and higher reaction efficiency

·       White well options enhance the fluorescence signal during qPCR

·       Wells are slightly raised to ensure evaporation-proof sealing with film, foil, or strip caps

·       ANSI/SBS footprint and well spacing

·       Vibrant colors offer a visual distinction between different samples or experiments

·       Certified free of detectable RNase, DNase, DNA, PCR inhibitors, and tested pyrogen-free

 
PR1MA™ Semi-Skirted PCR Plates

• PR1MA™ PCR Plates have uniformed wells and ultra-thin walls provide optimal heat transfer and reaction efficiency.

• Fits most thermal cyclers.

• High Contrast black alphanumerics for easy well identification.

• Reclosable bags minimize contamination risk and are convenient for opening and closing.

• For use in medical, pharmaceutical, food industry, and molecular biology.

• Barcoded versions available upon special order. 

• Certified free of detectable RNase, DNase, NA, PCR inhibitors, and tested pyrogen-free

• PR-PCR2196F has a frosted surface for optimal fluorescence detection.  A frosted surface reduces background noise that can interfere with quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR).

PR1MA™ Touch Power Supply

• Touch screen control
• Bright color display
• Dual orientation, auto-rotating display

The PR1MA™ Touch is a workhorse electrophoresis power supply, ideal for the efficient separation of nucleic acids and proteins as well as basic western blotting applications. Four pairs of output jacks are wired in parallel for connecting multiple electrophoresis tanks. A color touch screen allows quick setting and monitoring of all run conditions, including run time, voltage, and current. Users can select “Constant Current” or “Constant Voltage” during an electrophoresis run, keeping the chosen parameter fixed as resistance changes. The dual orientation design with a rotating display allows the PR1MA™ Touch to be installed in the most convenient location, on a shelf or bench, saving valuable space.

The PR1MA™ Touch features a logical user interface.

Setting up an electrophoresis run couldn’t be easier; simply touch the parameter to select it, press the “up” and “down” arrows to adjust the value, and then touch “Start”. All parameters are always displayed, with no need to toggle between Time, Voltage, or Amperage. In addition, the run status is always displayed.

PR1MA™ Sealing Mats

PR1MA™ 96-Well PCR Sealing Mats are made of silicone, dimensions are 4.67 in. (L) x 2.90 in. (W).

• Pierceable
• Designed for an evaporation-resistant seal to minimize sample loss
• For use in medical, pharmaceutical, food industries, and molecular biology
• Certified free of detectable RNase, DNase, DNA, and PCR inhibitors

PR1MA™ Taq

• Ideal for routine PCR applications as well as genotyping, colony PCR, and fast PCR
• Improved template affinity and solubility for higher enzyme activity and greater yields
• Proprietary buffer optimized for a variety of assay conditions
• Conveniently supplied as a 2X Master Mix or in a 2-tube format of polymerase and separate 5X buffer

PR1MA™ Taq provides superior results for routine applications. Modified to improve DNA-binding, this polymerase offers higher solubility and greater template affinity, resulting in consistently superior performance. PR1MA™ Taq Polymerase exhibits a 5' to 3' nuclease activity, but no 3' to 5' (proofreading) activity and works well with a wide range of DNA templates including GC-rich sequences.

The polymerase is supplied with a 5X buffer containing MgCl2 and a proprietary mix of enhancers (dNTP's not included). For convenience, PR1MA Taq is also available in a ready-to-use 2X Master Mix - just add primers and template DNA. Our "Red Dye" Master Mix incorporates a red-loading dye that allows amplified samples to be loaded directly on an agarose gel.  The red color aids in visualization during pipetting, and higher density of the buffer ensures that the samples will drop into the gel wells.

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

• Lids have a stacking feature for added stability when handling tall stacks of plates 

• 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 µL 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 µL 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   

 
PR1MA™ Taq Plus

• Higher fidelity for long PCR amplicons, up to 35 kb
• Ideal for problematic templates
