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

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...10-30-2026, 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
