Fast Cycling
So fast and powerful..they could be the first SuperMixes to face mandatory drug testing.
PerfeCTa® FastMixes® set a new standard for high efficiency qPCR results with a significantly faster protocol for increased productivity.
About PerfeCTa® FastMixes®
PerfeCTa® qPCR FastMixes® are 2X concentrated, ready-to-use reaction cocktails that deliver maximum PCR efficiency, sensitivity, specificity and robust fluorescent signal using either fast or conventional cycling protocols. Rapid cycling is achieved by instant activation of AccuFast™ Taq DNA polymerase coupled with rapid polymerization kinetics. The result is qPCR in as little as 33 minutes. PerfeCTa® qPCR FastMixes® are available for all real-time PCR instrument platforms including those requiring normalization with ROX™ reference dye.
