ToughMix®

PCR inhibitors are common in crude samples and readily compromise assay performance. Use of Quantabio TOUGH-tested ToughMix reagents results in enhanced PCR performance with crude or contaminated samples. The advanced ToughMix buffer technology is engineered to withstand several types of PCR-inhibition, providing robust and reliable results from a variety of starting materials and purification methods.

 

  • Robust fluorescent probe qPCR & PCR performance
  • Applicable to wider range of probe designs and detection chemistries
  • Work directly with crude lysates
  • Bypass exhaustive and expensive sample purification
  • Superior performance in the presence of PCR inhibitors
