REDTaq ReadyMix PCR Reaction Mix, Complete PCR reagent with standard Taq DNA Polymerase and inert dye

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

REDTaq^® ReadyMix^™ PCR Reaction Mix has been used:for routine polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.for the PCR amplification of cDNA in semi-quantitative PCR

Features and Benefits

The benefits of REDTaq^® with the convenience of ReadyMix^™ Saves preparation time Reduces risk of contamination from multiple pipet steps and and increased reproducibility. Provides consistent reaction-to-reaction performance No loading buffer/tracking dye needs to be added. The PCR product is loaded directly into an agarose gel after amplification The red tracer migrates at approximately the same rate as a 125bp fragment (slightly faster than bromophenol blue) Amplifies targets up to 7 kb in length Because no loading buffer has been added, a sample can be easily re-amplifed such as in nested PCR. Stable at 4°C or −20°C. Ready-mix format reduces setup time.

General description

REDTaq^® ReadyMix^™ is a ready-to-use mixture of Taq DNA polymerase, 99% pure DNTPs, reaction buffer, and an inert red dye in a 2X concentrate. After the PCR reaction, the PCR product can be loaded directly onto an agarose gel. The red loading dye migrates at approximately the same rate as a 125 base pair fragment in a 1% agarose gel. The inert dye has no effect on the amplification process, and therefore, a sample can be easily re-amplified such as in “nested PCR”.
