Real-Time PCR Reagents and Kits

Get a master mix you can trust from a leader in qPCR

Optimized real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis enables sensitive and specific quantification of nucleic acids. Reagent selection plays a critical role in any qPCR or RT-qPCR protocol to help ensure optimal performance and reliable results. Set your analysis up for success by choosing an Applied Biosystems real-time PCR master mix or reagent.

 

Real-time PCR master mixes, sometimes referred to as "mastermixes", "super mixes", or "ready mixes", are concentrated, pre-mixed solutions that contain many components required for a qPCR reaction, including buffer, enzymes, and dNTPs. With over 25 years of experience innovating real-time PCR reagents, Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed optimized master mixes for almost any qPCR workflow. Our reagent product families (TaqMan, TaqPath, and SYBR) offer master mix formulations tailored to meet the unique requirements of different applications, such as gene expression,  genotyping, and pathogen detection.
