Product Description
PolyMate is a special 2x additive for use in reactions involving any thermostable DNA Polymerase. PolyMate provides an optimized composition of reagents, leading to a dramatic improvement of reaction specificity. PolyMate is recommended for use with any thermostable DNA Polymerases.

By making DNA more accessible for Polymerase and oligonucleotides, PolyMate acts as a “melting” agent for dirty and mainly difficult templates with high GC- or AT- content, and repetitive sequences, or templates with a difficult melting profile.

PolyMate does not contain Mg, dNTPs, or buffer components.

Product Description
BioEnhance improves any enzyme reaction by stabilizing the native conformation of the enzyme quaternary structure. BioEnhance is compatible with any pre-optimized incubation buffer/additive composition and also increases enzyme thermostability, which leads to improved performance. BioEnhance also prevents biomolecules from premature denaturation under thermal or other stress conditions. By fixing the native enzyme conformation in DNA polymerase reactions, BioEnhance suppresses the accumulation of false-primed fragments, mismatch extensions and concatamers.
 
Features
• Simple to use.
• Compatible with all pre-optimized incubation buffers.
 
Applications
• Enhances any enzyme reaction by simple addition.
• Improves enzyme thermostability and half-life.
 
Storage Conditions
BioEnhance will remain stable at –20°C in a constant-temperature freezer.

Product Description
10x NH4 Buffer consists of: 160mM (NH4 )2SO4, 670mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.8 at 25°C), 0.1% Tween-20.
 
Features
10x NH4 Buffer provides superior yield with lower background as compared to KCl-based buffers. Yields may be up to 2x greater with no loss of specificity or fidelity. However, the ammonium sulfate present in the buffer may interfere with downstream applications and is known to inhibit T4 Polynucleotide Kinase. As a result, products for reactions using 10x NH4 Buffer should be purified after the reaction.
 
Storage Conditions
NH4 Buffer will remain stable at -20ºC in a constant-temperature freezer.

Product Description
OptiBuffer is a novel non-tris incubation buffer for advanced polymerase applications where optimal conditions are essential to achieve a high yield and low background. OptiBuffer enhances enzyme thermostability and increases enzyme half-life in vitro, leading to a much improved yield/background ratio. OptiBuffer provides an optimal pH stability of pH 7.8-8.0 at 70°C-72°C, which is essential for processivity and for fidelity of thermostable DNA polymerases. OptiBuffer provides a higher buffer capacity than Tris-HCl-based buffers. The buffer will enhance results with all templates, but is particularly useful for difficult templates and for the synthesis of long regions. OptiBuffer is simply substituted for the incubation buffer supplied with thermostable polymerases. It provides the easiest way to improve the performance of DNA polymerase assays.
 
Features
• Improves enzyme thermostability and increases enzyme half-life in vitro.
• Replaces standard buffers, providing higher DNA yield without non-specific background, particularly for long regions.
 
Applications
• Add to any DNA polymerase reaction for improved results.
 
Storage Conditions
OptiBuffer will remain stable at –20°C in a constant-temperature freezer.
 
Notes / Protocols
OptiBuffer is supplied as a 10x stock solution which is substituted for the reaction buffer supplied with the polymerase in use. Before use, thaw the frozen buffer completely and then dissolve any salt precipitate by brief vortexing. Add Mg2+ to give a final concentration of 1.5mM.

Product Description
The PCR Optimization Kit is a complete set of 12 "ready to go" 2X reaction mixes (A-L), designed to determine rapidly the optimal buffer conditions for all primer-template combinations. The kit is designed for use in "difficult PCR" which often results from high GC or AT content, complex secondary structure, or in multiplex reactions.

Included in our buffers is a proprietary mix of enhancers to ensure the best possible results are achieved.The PCR Optimization Kit dramatically reduces the time needed to set up reactions and allows the user to optimise key variables without the need to test each variable independently.

The user is required to add only template DNA, primers, water and thermostable DNA polymerase to carry out successful PCR reactions.

Once a specific PCR Reaction is optimized, individual buffer(s) can be purchased separately.
 
Step 1

 

 

 

Step 2

Step 3
  1. Prepare mastermix containing template DNA, primers, H2O and thermostable polymerase.
  2. Add 25µl of mastermix to each of the 12 buffers supplied
  3. Typical results, buffer J is the most suitable for this application
 

 
Features
  • Fast: Rapid optimisation of PCR conditions for all primer-template combinations.
  • Reliable: Provides greater reproducibility for primer-template combinations when the appropriate 2X Premix is being used.
  • Efficient: Each 2X Premix contains a buffered solution, dNTPs, Magnesium for rapid optimisation and the elimination of background often seen in PCR.
 
Notes
Each reaction requires 25µl of the supplied 2X premix, addition of template, primers, thermostable DNA Polymerase and 18.2Ω water up to 50µl. Taq DNA Polymerase is not supplied. This product should be used in conjunction with a licensed DNA Polymerase.
