My facility has recently purchased an Illumina GA IIx. I was wondering for qPCR during sample prep, what kits/reagents people recommend? We have an ABI stepOnePlus instrument.
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you're looking for a SYBR (or similar)-based master mix, I can tell you that Fisher Scientific has a promotional deal on Promega's GoTaq qPCR mix that is ridiculously cheap. It is sold as 1000 or 200 reactions, but that's based on a 50uL reaction volume, so if you do 25uL reactions, that's the price you'd get for 2000 or 400 reactions.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
