Remarkable stability at higher temperatures. Amplification plot showcasing results of stability testing with HOT FIREPol® SolisGreen® qPCR Mix 2.0. Stability testing was carried out with TUBA8 target on four 10-fold dilutions (20 ng to 20 pg) of human gDNA using Quantstudio™ 6 Pro qPCR cycler (Applied Biosystems™). The results demonstrate great sensitivity and reproducibility with high fluorescence levels when tested for 2 weeks at 37°C (yellow), and 1 month at room temperature (25 °C, red) in comparison of a product kept at -20 °C as a reference (blue).
Accurate quantification across a broad dynamic range! One-step RT-qPCR amplification plot showcasing extreme accuracy across a broad dynamic range. SOLIScript® 1-step SolisGreen® Kit 2.0 was used to target PPIA gene fragment using eight 10-fold serial dilutions (0.1 pg–1 μg, six replicates at each concentration) of Human Reference total RNA. Reactions were run on QuantStudio™ 6 Flex qPCR cycler (Applied BioSystems™).

Dye-based qPCR is very cost-effective when planning a large-scale experiment. It saves time during the experimental design phase because it only requires the proper design of primers. It’s easy to use - straightforward, with fewer reagents needed compared to probe-based methods. While in terms of specificity dye-based qPCR is not as good as probe-based options, it’s highly sensitive and capable of detecting low amounts of DNA due to the strong fluorescence signal upon binding to dsDNA. Dye-based qPCR also allows you to detect non-specific binding, which probe-based qPCR can’t do. This is especially useful during the starting phase of experiments to make sure that you are seeing correct results.
However, if you are looking to multiplex or want results with very high specificity, probe-based qPCR may be more suitable for you. Luckily, we also provide solutions for that.

To advance innovation in synthetic biology we decided to help young and talented scientists from Lund University with their Methane RemOOver project. Their goal is the reduction of methane emissions from cows using a synthetically engineered microorganism. With this idea, they also participated in iGEM competition.
This year the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, two scientists credited with discovering microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Now, 30 years after their finding, you can do microRNA experiments with ease by using our products designed to make discovering new things simple and hassle-free.
This summer we got to collaborate with a fun project organized by the MINT Campus in Germany. Not only does MINT campus inspire children and young people about these topics but it also introduces young people to sustainable, innovative developments in current research and technology.
Whether you are studying the genetic material of plants, brains or viruses, the experiment usually starts with extracting RNA from the sample material. It would be incredibly useful to get all the RNA extracted instead of it getting destroyed by the RNases before even starting the cDNA synthesis step. But how can we protect the RNA when RNases are all around us? Let’s find out!
