• DNase and RNase free
 
Description
Bioline’s new no-mess Agarose Tablets represents a new advance in convenience products for the laboratory. Each tablet contains a pre-determined amount of agarose (0.5g agarose per tablet), removing the need to weigh out loose agarose powder. Agarose Tablets require 5-6 minutes incubation at room temperature in buffer prior to heating*. This incubation step softens and the dissolves the tablet in the buffer. Once dissolved, proceed as normal, heating the agarose solution, preferably using a microwave. Bioline Agarose Tablets have the same specification as Bioline Molecular Grade Agarose powder and are suitable for all routine applications.

* The time needed to dissolve the tablet is dependant on the laboratory temperature. Please, do not microwave the tablet in the buffer immediately, as this will cause formation of smaller insoluble pellets. The room temperature incubation step, prior to heating, is important to achieve a homogeneous mix.
 
Applications
• Ideal for separation of a wide size range of nucleic acids.

  • Supplied with buffer for optimum performance.
  • Increases pellet mass and visibility of sample pellet.
  • Minimises pellet loss during sub-sequent downstream applications.

 

Description

Visible DNA pellets.
Bioline has introduced a range of Co-Precipitants: Glycogen (Isolated from Oyster) and Linear Polyacrylamides (colourless, pink and orange) to aid recovery of nucleic acids during salt/alcohol precipitations. Using a simple and rapid procedure, Co-Precipitants can be used for the quantitative recovery of small amounts of nucleic acids within dilute solutions, and are suitable for most applications, including precipitation of DNA for sequencing and after enzymatic manipulations, as well as the precipitation of RNA from different sources. Specially treated Co-Precipitants do not contain detectable amounts of nucleic acids, thus allowing the use of precipitates for standard and RT-PCR and other enzymatic reactions, that may otherwise be inhibited by untreated polysaccharide alternatives.
 
Applications

Recovery of DNA and RNA for sequencing and other enzymatic treatment.
 
Notes

Glycoprecipitant is free of background polynucleotides, DNA and RNA-binding proteins, proteases, DNases and RNases. However, some enzymatic reactions may be inhibited by the presence of polysaccharides.

Colourless Polyacrylamide is the only Co-Precipitant suitable for spectral determination of nucleic acid within the 260nm-280nm range.
 
Storage Conditions

Co-Precipitants can be stored for 18 months at -20°C in a constant-temperature freezer.

Product Description
Half-Dye Mix has been designed to reduce the costs involved in auto-sequencing, by reducing the amount of dye-terminator needed in a reaction. Many sequencing reactions leave up to 80% of dye-terminators unused, which normally require removal prior to sequencing.

Half-Dye Mix addresses this inefficiency, by providing the necessary reaction conditions to allow for a lower proportion of dye-terminator in the reaction mix, hence reducing the amount of unused dye terminators that need removal, and thus allowing many more reactions from every purchase of dye-terminator.

It works by providing optimal buffer conditions which allow up to a 5-fold dilution of dye-terminator without any loss in sequencing quality. Half-dye is suitable for sequencing of both Plasmid and PCR templates and requires no optimisation.
 
Features
• Reduces requirement for BigDye(8)
• Half-Dye Mix can reduce auto-sequencing costs significantly
• Supplied in ready-to-use format
 
Applications
• Autosequencing.
