Integrated DNA Technologies Ambient Temperature PrimeTime Gene Expression Master Mix

Integrated DNA Technologies has developed a master mix for probe-based qPCR assays that is stable for ambient shipping. The company's PrimeTime Gene Expression Master Mix is the only widely distributed commercial master mix shipped in solution at ambient temperature. Under these conditions, the master mix, which is compatible with a wide range of real-time PCR instruments, continues to deliver consistent, high-quality results, the company said. IDT expects savings of approximately 33 tons (US) in total package weight, 28.5 tons in dry ice, and 4,700 square feet of landfill waste during the course of a typical year.
