My facility has recently purchased an Illumina GA IIx. I was wondering for qPCR during sample prep, what kits/reagents people recommend? We have an ABI stepOnePlus instrument.
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you're looking for a SYBR (or similar)-based master mix, I can tell you that Fisher Scientific has a promotional deal on Promega's GoTaq qPCR mix that is ridiculously cheap. It is sold as 1000 or 200 reactions, but that's based on a 50uL reaction volume, so if you do 25uL reactions, that's the price you'd get for 2000 or 400 reactions.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
