Bio-Rad Laboratories unveiled its SsoAdvanced universal supermixes which provide data acquisition across most sample types.
Each supermix includes Bio-Rad’s Sso7d fusion enzyme which is aided by a formulation of surfactants, detergents and stabilisers.
These factors allow the supermixes to be utilised across a range of cycling conditions, primer concentrations and temperatures.
Bio-Rad maintains that the ‘universal’ tag means the mixes are compatible with all qPCR platforms and are designed to work alongside researchers using qPCR instruments that require ROX fluorescent dyes.
The supermixes yield optimal performance across a broad range of sample types and difficult target sequences, so can be used with wide variety of qPCR applications, including gene expression studies, ChIP analyses and genotyping.
The SYBR green supermix is optimised for dye-based qPCR and contains SYBR green I, whereas the probes supermix is formulated for probe-based qPCR - simplex or duplex.
