Enzymes, master mixes and lyoprotectants side by side: the features that set each product apart, and the catalog number of every version, from standard to glycerol-free, low-residual DNA and lyo-ready.
For fast cycling or crude samples, choose Robustart Fast Taq-V2 E20 or -V3 E40: 30 s activation and direct PCR from blood and swabs. Hot Start Taq E03 is chemically modified and needs 5–10 min at 95 °C. Robustart Tth E17 also has reverse-transcriptase activity in the presence of Mn²⁺, for single-enzyme RT-PCR.

UNG/UDG E01 digests at 50 °C and is inactivated at 95 °C, so it suits PCR. Heat-labile UNG-V2 E04-2 digests at 20–37 °C and is inactivated at 50 °C during the RT step, so it also suits one-step RT-PCR.

Protectant-9 AS412-9 is the 4× protectant used in BIORI lyo-ready qPCR, RT-qPCR, LAMP and RT-LAMP mixes; the lyophilized FM2181-4 mix made with it kept its performance for 18 months at room temperature. Protectant-17 and -156-5 are 2× formulations for mostly DNA or mostly RNA systems; products freeze-dried with them tolerate 20–25% RH for 4 h before vacuum packing.
