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.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
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
