Product Testing
Thermagenix science staff continues to test our reagents with commercially available enzymes. Thermagenix uses simple yet stringent test methodologies to show clear and obvious data results. More detailed information is available upon request.
ThermaStop
Description:
A stringent test of polymerase activity prior to thermal activation1. A simple test with two primers that have a three base pair overlap at their 3’ ends. These primers form a primer dimer (see arrow above) if any polymerization occurs prior to the thermal cycling.
ThermaGo
Description;
A stringent test of polymerase activity prior to thermal activation1. A simple test with two primers that have a three base pair overlap at their 3’ ends. These primers form a primer dimer (see arrow above) if any polymerization occurs prior to the thermal cycling.
ThermaStop-RT
Description:
Reverse transcriptase from different commercial sources are being tested using 1-step and 2-step RT-PCR to amplify different concentrations of a synthetic Hepatitis C Virus RNA sequence in the presence and absence of ThermaStop-RT.
