Lyophilization and Air-Dryable Ready Master Mixes
Lyophilization and air-dryable ready options allow room temperature shipping and storage, extended shelf-life, and increased flexibility in sample volume and so sensitivity. For reduction in the background and even greater sensitivity we also have dU options that are ideal for multiplex assays on open, automated, high-throughput instruments. These products are also available as components in order to fit the development of your molecular diagnostic tests.
- Engineered to increase affinity for DNA and RNA, so resulting in significant improvements in yield, sensitivity and speed.
- Developed to give robust, reproducible amplification under fast conditions.
- Novel buffer systems give reliable amplification in the presence of inhibitors.
A combination of the latest advances in buffer chemistry and PCR enhancers and stabilizers, in conjunction with an antibody-mediated hot start polymerase designed for highly reproducible, accurate RNA and DNA target amplification under fast thermal cycling conditions, delivering excellent results in multiplex assays, even in the presence of difficult inhibitors. Lyophilization and air-dryable ready options allow room temperature shipping and storage, extended shelf-life, and increased flexibility in sample volume and so sensitivity.

FAQ’s
In one-step qPCR or reverse transcription qPCR, cDNA synthesis and qPCR are performed in a single reaction tube. In two-step qPCR, cDNA is synthesized in one reaction tube, and aliquots of the cDNA is then used for a subsequent RT-qPCR experiments.
The qPCR master mixes, and RT-qPCR master mixes have been optimized for magnesium, dNTPs, stabilizers, and enhancers, resulting in highly reproducible, accurate RNA and DNA target amplification under fast thermal cycling conditions, delivering excellent results in multiplex assays, even in the presence of difficult PCR inhibitors. So, we do not recommend adding any additional material, only the primers, probe(s), and sample.
We would recommend using a range of crude sample concentrations or extract volumes to ascertain at what point unacceptable PCR inhibition starts to take place. This will vary as some sample types, such as blood and stool specimens typically contain more inhibitors for qPCR/RT-qPCR reactions.
Yes, reaction conditions are the same and they will produce the same results, this means that the liquid mixes can be used to create SOPs if you do not want to dry down and then later if drying is required (for example to increase sensitivity), the SOP can be updated for drying, it does not require completely new SOPs to be written, but excipients will need to be added.
Lyophilization is done by freezing and sublimation in a vacuum, forming a cake or bead, it has very low viscosity and up to 99% of the moisture is removed. Drying normally take 18-24 hours and requires cryo-excipients that protect the enzymes during the freezing. The reagents can be lyophilized to a bead or a cake format.
Air-drying is done by heating in a convection oven, forming a highly viscous pellet, with about 95% of the moisture removed. Drying normally take less than 2 hours and requires heat protecting excipients that protect the enzymes at higher temperatures. The reagents can be air-dried to a soft viscous format.
Lyophilization and air-drying helps to extend the product’s shelf life, enhance the stability of the reagents at higher temperatures, and allows for convenient and accurate dispensing of the reagents. After drying, the reagents are easily reconstituted with sample material.
Following drying in the presence or absence of a buffer containing excipients, primers/probes, most or our mixes should be stable for a minimum of 24 months at ambient temperature. Following rehydration, the assay reproducibility, sensitivity, and robustness should be the same as for a freshly made liquid mix.
