Supported by over 30 years of Dynabeads expertise, Thermo Fisher Scientific offers exceptional service and support for all Dynabeads products.

Restriction enzyme digestion is a fundamental technique in molecular biology research that enables precise manipulation and analysis/mapping of DNA. Restriction enzymes recognize specific short DNA sequences that are 4 to 8 bp in length, known as recognition sites, and introduce cuts at or near these sites. The cleavage specificity of restriction enzymes helps allow for predictable and reproducible digestion patterns, which are essential for cloning, mapping genomes, and preparing DNA for sequencing. By cutting DNA into defined fragments, researchers can isolate and study specific genes, create recombinant DNA molecules, and perform various genetic modifications. The high specificity and reliability of restriction digests make them indispensable tools in genetic engineering, functional genomics, and biotechnology. Thermo Scientific offers conventional restriction enzymes and FastDigest restriction enzymes for your molecular cloning workflows.

Our new generation of Platinum DNA polymerases come with novel buffers enabling universal primer annealing at a temperature of 60°C. The universal primer annealing allows all primers to anneal to the template DNA at 60°C, eliminating Tm calculations and enhancing convenience. A combination of the innovative buffers, high-performing enzymes, and reliable hot-start technology offers exceptional PCR results, even in the toughest applications.

When using dye-based chemistry for real-time PCR analysis, master mix choice matters. As the pioneers of SYBR Green dye quantification for qPCR, we have evolved our SYBR Green master mix formulations over many years into highly consistent reagents that deliver exceptional sensitivity and specificity on any qPCR instrument.

Applied Biosystems TaqMan master mixes have been optimized for use across a wide variety of research and discovery-stage biopharmaceutical applications. Choosing the right master mix depends on your target (RNA or DNA), application, test format, and multiplexing needs. For most qPCR research applications, we recommend using either TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix or TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step Master Mixes
