AccuStart II PCR Genotyping Kit

Features

The AccuStart II Genotyping Kit is a complete reagent kit designed to support conventional, end-point PCR-based screening of transgenic animal models commonly used in life science research and is validated for use with mouse, fish, or insect tissue specimens. It combines a rapid, 2-component DNA extraction reagent with a user-friendly 2X concentrated PCR SuperMix with loading dye for seamless gel electrophoresis analysis. qPCR-grade genomic DNA template is obtained with minimal extraction volumes (100uL) and can be carried out in 30-minutes on a standard PCR thermal cycler.

Features & Benefits

• Simplified, completely reagent-based system requires minimal pipetting skill
• Premixed electrophretic mobility loading dye reduces chances for post-PCR cross contamination
• Stabilized 2X PCR SuperMix enables convenient room-temperature setup and is unaffected by repetitive freeze-thaw (>20X)
• High-yielding, ultrapure modified Taq DNA polymerase delivers robust, reliable duplex assay performance
• Stringent, ultrapure antibody hotstart ensures sensitive and specific target amplification

AccuStart II PCR Genotyping Kit is intended for molecular biology applications. This product is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a disease.

Contents

• Extracta® DNA Prep for PCR (95091-02)
• Extraction Reagent
• Stabilization Buffer
• AccuStart II GelTrack PCR SuperMix (95136-500)
