PCR/qPCR

MIDSCI can supply almost every needed product for PCR/qPCR: tubes, plates, strips, caps, taq, Mastermixes, dNPTs, dye and probe for qPCR, sealing film and much more.  If you are looking for any of these things, we can match almost all needs to all cyclers.  If you don’t find it easily contact us at tech@midsci.com and we will find it for you. 

96 or 384 we have it.  Non-Skirted, semi-skirted or full skirted, we have it.  0.1, 0.2, or 0.5 mL we have it.  A1, A12, H12, A24, P24 cuts, we have them.  Sybr© Green or probe alternative, we have it.  

Pro Tip: Colored plastics do not have any impact on DNA amplification.  But when setting up qPCR it is often recommended to use white plastics.  This will limit or prevent fluorescence refraction.  Light refraction can minimize sensitivity and consistency. 

Pro Tip 2: If you are seeing inconsistencies in PCR/qPCR try PR1MA Pipette Tips.  This will help optimize and reduce variance in the reactions.  Simple test, see the residual liquid left in tips?  This means some of the taq, dNTPs, sample, etc is left in the tip.  PR1MA tips help reduce that significantly and improve your consistency. 

Pro Tip 3: Seeing evaporation in the outer wells of a PCR/qPCR plate?  Sometimes it’s the plate, sometimes it the seal, and sometimes it’s the cycler.  Call us we have solutions.

myView Compact UV Transilluminator

  • Uniform Illumination | Four 302 nm Bulbs
  • Adjustable UV Safety Cover | Easy Access to Gels
  • Large Scratch Resistant Viewing | 16.5 x 13.5 cm

The E3100 Compact UV Transilluminator has a surprisingly small footprint (just over 12 x 8 inches) yet provides industry leading performance. It will accommodate one or two mini gels on the 16.5 x 13.5 cm scratch resistant viewing surface.

The integrated UV blocking cover is made from a polymer that will not fluoresce in UV light. This allows clear viewing of DNA bands through the cover yet offers full UV blocking protection. Two friction hinges on the front edge of the cover allow for full adjustment. Position the cover horizontally for general viewing, tilt it at an angle for gel access and band cutting, or open fully to use the SmartDoc™ Imaging Enclosure (sold separately) for gel imaging with a smartphone.

The transilluminator’s four 6W bulbs evenly illuminate the viewing surface, and the 302 nm wavelength is ideal for Ethidium Bromide, SmartGlow™, SYBR Green®, Gel Green™ and many other common gel stains.  Spacing of the UV bulbs, coupled with a reflector system and special diffusing filter glass provides exceptional uniformity across the viewing surface. This allows for quantification of DNA and higher quality imaging when used with a camera system.

The SmartBlue™ Blue Light Transilluminator 

 
The SmartBlue™ Blue Light Transilluminator is the smart alternative to UV transillumination. The uniform 465 nm bottom lighting illumination is perfect for excitation of most green fluorophores without damaging the DNA, thus resulting in a much higher downstream cloning efficiency. Furthermore, the two position filter cover position allows for easy access to the gel for band excision. Without the need for the use of DNA damaging UV light, you don't have to worry about any damage to the skin and eyes.


The LEDS are long lasting (with a 30,000 hour service life) providing a durable and efficient illumination option. Gels can be excised directly on the unit with the scratch resistant surface. The unit contains an automatic 5 minute timed shut off for energy saving as well. The cover can be placed flush with the unit, at a 60 degree angle, or completely removed for use with the SmartDoc Imager (E5000-SD).

Pair with DNA Safe Stain (C138) for the ultimate viewing effectiveness!

A 230V is available upon request (SB4500-E).

SmartBlue™ Mini Blue Light Transilluminator

Safer for samples, safer for you: Accuris SmartBlue™ Mini Blue Light Transilluminator is the perfect partner for most common safe DNA stains. It emits blue light at a wavelength of 465nm, perfect for excitation of most green fluorophors, including our Accuris’ SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, SYBR Safe, SYBR Gold, GelStar, GelGreen, to name a few.  The SmartBlue Mini also works for excitation of EtBr (though fluorescence is not as bright as with UV), see our Technical Bulletin with sample images. Exposing DNA to blue wavelength does not cause molecular damage, and results in a much higher downstream cloning efficiency as compared to even short UV light exposures.  In addition, the visible blue light is not damaging to the user’s skin and is less harmful to the eyes.*


Two position filter cover:  The E4100 transilluminator comes with an emission filter cover. These amber covers, which rest above the viewing surface and gel, filter out the blue light, allowing the fluorescing DNA bands to be seen clearly.  The covers are designed to fit flat for general gel viewing or to be placed at an angle to provide easy access to the gel for band excision. For documentation, the filter cover is easily removed completely. UI technology, bright and clear images:  The bright LED light plates and filter layer provides an extremely evenly lit viewing surface. Even in ambient light, bands of DNA can clearly be seen in stained gels. Images obtained using the SmartBlue Mini Transilluminator are brighter and more balanced than those obtained using epi-illuminators which light from the sides.


Reliable, durable and long lasting:  An array of super bright LEDs with a long, 30,000 hour service life provide the light source for the SmartBlue™ Mini Transilluminator. Unlike those in a UV transilluminator, the filters in the SmartBlue Min system will not solarize and degrade in performance over time. Gel bands can be excised directly on the scratch resistant, glass viewing surfaces. To save energy, the power switch includes an automatic 5 minute shutoff. SmartBlue™ Mini Transilluminators are covered by a 2 year warranty.


* The SmartBlue™ products use high intensity LED lights.  Although the visible blue wavelength is significantly safer than UV light, it is recommended to not stare directly at the viewing surface without the amber cover in place.
