Meridian Bioscience Lyo-Ready Direct DNA qPCR Stool Mix, Lyo-Ready Direct RNA/DNA qPCR Stool Mix

Meridian Bioscience has launched two new sample-specific master mixes, Lyo-Ready Direct DNA qPCR Stool Mix and Lyo-Ready Direct RNA/DNA qPCR Stool Mix, to improve the molecular detection of DNA and RNA from crude fecal specimens and to allow room temperature stabilization of diagnostic assays. Detection of DNA or RNA from stool can be difficult because stool contains many PCR inhibitors including bile salts, polysaccharides, and catabolic substances. Meridian's two mixes remove the need for nucleic acid extraction or lengthy component optimization and can be used in liquid or lyophilized format when ambient temperature assay stabilization is needed.
