I think it should be possible to dilute most big-dye chemistries down to 16X - 32X fold, provided you add some DNA polymerase (Like thermo DreamTaq),
use 10ul of Taq polymerase for 400ul of digdye/buffer mix for 96 reactions.
Also it can help resque big Dye mix, that had been held in customs for a few weeks at room temperature when being shipped to some third world country...
Also make sure the quality of your DNA is good or use PCR products for sequencing.

I realize this is an old thread, but does anyone use Promega's ProDye and can the volume used be cut down to 1/8th or 1/16th, as we used to do with BigDye 3.1?Leave a comment:

Are there alternatives to the Sanger sequencing for Big Dye Terminator kit?
Hi, All
As far as I know, there are two alternatives from Nimagen(Brilliantdye) and McLab(Brightdye). Does anyone have experience/feedback on these two or other alternatives?
Thanks

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
