BioMix Red

BioMix™ Red is a complete ready-to-use 2x reaction mix containing an ultra-stable Taq DNA polymerase. It contains an additional inert red dye that permits easy visualization and direct loading onto a gel.

Product Highlights

• Convenient format – pre-mixed, pre-optimized 2x solutions
• Versatile – suitable for routine PCR applications
• Ready-to-use – reduces contamination risks
• Suitable for TA cloning – leaves ‘A’ overhang
• Direct gel loading – eliminates the need for further processing following reaction completion

Product description

BioMix™ Red is a complete ready-to-use 2x reaction mix containing a stable Taq DNA polymerase. It contains an additional inert red dye that permits easy visualization and direct loading onto a gel. There is no need to add loading buffer as the mix is of sufficiently high density to sink to the bottom of the gel. The red dye migrates like a 350 bp fragment on a 2% agarose TAE gel (or 600 bp on a 1% agarose).

BioMix Red has been developed to perform PCR assays of many common genomic and cDNA templates; the user has simply to add water, template and primers. It reduces the time required to set-up reactions, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination. Reproducibility is ensured by reducing the number of pipetting steps that can lead to errors.

BioMix Red is supplied with additional MgCl2 solution should any fine adjustments be required.

Applications

• Routine PCR applications
• TA cloning
• High throughput
