We are happy to support our customer’s daily laboratory work by providing stable, easy-handling and furthermore DNA non-binding PCR plastic. This is why good PCR plastic improves work: G.S., Karlsruhe (06/11/2018) about the 8-well PCR Tube Strips 0.2 ml with domed cap strips (link) ‘Very […]
Read moreHave you ever considered the role of your PCR plastic when you got wrong CT-Values? The quantification of nucleic acids is not only depending on the probes, devices and protocols, but also the used plastic material can have an influence on the measured DNA amount. It is known that different plastic material can bind to […]
Read moreI. Evaporation during a PCR run The salt concentration has a major effect on the polymerase chain reaction. Elevated levels of magnesium can increase the possibility of unspecific amplification of the template DNA. This elevated concentration of salts could happen by wrong pipetting volumes, more often it could also be caused by evaporation of liquids […]
