FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Applied Biosystems (NYSE:ABI), an Applera Corporation business, today announced the release of two new application-specific master mix reagents designed to improve data quality of real-time PCR - a method used to detect and determine the amount of nucleic acids present in samples. The TaqMan® Gene Expression Master Mix and TaqMan® Genotyping Master Mix reagents have been formulated to provide researchers high-quality data, resulting in a better picture of how nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) impact important biological processes. By matching the right master mix reagent — staple chemical components necessary for performing real-time PCR reactions — with the kind of application for which the reagent was designed, researchers can boost the performance of either single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping or quantitative real-time PCR applications, compared with how these kinds of assays perform with other master mix chemistries.
