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.

MyGo Pro ESR

The MyGo Pro real-time PCR instrument provides unmatched performance in a convenient format. Novel Full Spectrum Optics deliver 120 optical channels of fluorescence data from every tube in parallel, with no moving parts, for reliable multiplex PCR.

 

Precision And Performance

The MyGo Pro demonstrates superior intra-run and inter-run analytical precision in DNA quantification and melting point analysis.

 

Users can now address biological phenomena with subtle effects on gene expression, or pathogen levels, for example discriminating 10% differences in transcript concentrations.

For users performing HRM-based analysis of genetic variants, the combination of thermal control, optical data quality, and HRM data analysis of the MyGo Pro system provides compelling functionality. The system can discriminate all classes of SNP, including Class 4 SNPs via HRM.


Multiplex With Full Spectrum Optics

Novel Full Spectrum Optics provide 120 channels of wavelength-dependent optical data from every well every time. No other qPCR system offers this number of optical channels.

 

Full Spectrum Optics, combined with advanced matrix deconvolution technology, enable the simultaneous analysis of at least 7 different targets in a single reaction, each monitored with a different color of fluorescent label.

 

The MyGo Pro comes pre-calibrated for 20 different fluorescent labels, and the software enables users to use any dye with an emission maximum between 510nm and 750nm. No other qPCR system provides the user with this level of flexibility.

 

Easy Analysis

The MyGo Pro system comes with easy-to-use software, and robust, high-performance algorithms provide accurate results from complex data.

 

Automated analysis of complex HRM data makes this powerful technique more accessible to non-experts and minimizes operator-dependent variability in data analysis.

 

Automated report generation makes life easier for service providers, and users operating within GLP quality systems.

 

Reliability

The MyGo Pro has been designed to last, with very few moving parts, made and tested to exacting standards. The result is a highly reliable instrument, which comes with the option of a 5-year extended warranty.

 

Speed

With heating rates of 5°C per second and cooling rates of 4°C per second the MyGo Pro is one of the fastest systems available. No other system matches this speed with convenient-to-use disposables. The system demonstrates excellent quantitative precision and speed, with 45 cycles of PCR in 33 minutes. Typical qPCR systems take much longer than this to deliver results.

 

Compatibility

The MyGo Pro software can be installed on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux operating systems. Use your computer and your choice of operating system.

 

Connectivity

The MyGo Pro software does not require a dedicated computer, so users do not need to find the space or money, for an additional computer to run the system. In addition, the software enables the user to control multiple instruments, and simultaneously analyze multiple runs, with one computer.

PR1MA™ LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler

  • "Mini" sized, 9 x 7 inch footprint
  • Capacity for 32 x 0.2 mL or 4 PCR Strips
  • Intuitive touchscreen control

 

"Mini-sized" doesn't have to mean a sacrifice on features and performance. PR1MA™'s LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler offers advanced programming features, easy-to-use software, and fast, reliable cycling but with a smaller block and lower price point.

 

Designed for lower throughput needs, the PR1MA™ LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler has a capacity for 32 x 0.2 mL tubes. The wells are arranged in a 4 x 8 format, allowing the block to accept strips of 8 as well as individual tubes. The block heats and cools very quickly - at rates as fast as 5°C/second. A proprietary algorithm controls block temperature, bringing samples quickly to the target temperature without any over- or under-shoot. Excellent block uniformity ensures consistency from sample to sample.

 

The operation of the thermal cycler is controlled from the large, full-color, touch screen. Icon-driven menus allow users to get running quickly. Programming is extremely simple and includes options for time and temperature increments/decrements, adjustable ramp rates, and auto pause and restart functions. More than 100 typical programs can be stored in memory and easily recalled. After a run, samples can be held at 4°C. An on-screen report is also available at the completion of a run.

The heated lid is self-adjusting - the spring-loaded platen in the lid comes firmly into contact with the tops of the tubes to prevent sample evaporation and condensation. There are no knobs to turn or levers to adjust. The temperature of the heated lid can be changed, or the heating function of the lid may be turned off.

 

With a footprint less than that of the average laboratory notebook, the PR1MA™ LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler will fit almost anywhere. Its reduced capacity block and economical price make the PR1MA™ LD032 Mini Thermal Cycler the perfect choice for lower throughput laboratories and educational facilities.

PR1MA™ Hot Start Taq

  • Exceptional sensitivity for low-copy PCR
  • Ideal for multiplex PCR and amplification of GC-rich DNA
  • Same enhanced features as PR1MA Taq Polymerase
  • Buffer optimized for fast cycling and reproducibility

 

Engineered for controlled polymerase activity, PR1MA Hot Start Taq is bound with a monoclonal antibody that blocks enzyme activity. This allows reactions to be set up at room temperature without the risk of non-specific amplification.

 

When samples are ready, the reaction mixture is heated to 95°C to denature the antibody and initiate the reaction. Similar to the standard PR1MA Taq, Hot Start Taq is provided with a 5X buffer, or in a ready-to-use 2X Master Mix. The Master Mix can be ordered with or without an incorporated red gel loading dye.  The 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.
