Ideal for Beginning PCR Instruction

Study Genetic Variants in Fruit Flies

This Promega offers enhanced amplification over conventional Taq DNA polymerases. Supplied with 5X colorless reaction buffer and a 5X green buffer, which both allow for direct loading into agarose gels with no loading dye required. The included 5X green buffer allows you to visualize migration during electrophoresis. Each tube contains 100 U at 5 U/μl. Note: Requires storage at − 20°C.

Pre-mixed, and ready to use, this master mix contains DNA polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl₂, and reaction buffers at optimal concentrations for the amplification of DNA via PCR. Its special formulation allows for direct loading of PCR samples into agarose gels as well as tracking the migration during electrophoresis without the need for loading dyes. Simply add template, primers, and nuclease-free water, available separately. Mater Mix reduces risk of contamination. Includes enough for 100 reactions. Note: Can be stored at 4 °C for up to six weeks, or −20 °C for longer.
