Prelude PreAmp Master Mix—sensitive, unbiased preamplification

Prelude PreAmp Master Mix is a 2X PCR mix optimized for unbiased preamplification of multiple (>100) targets, starting from a limited (100 pg–10 ng) input of cDNA or gDNA. Amplified products can then be used for downstream real-time PCR (qPCR), genotyping, or target enrichment analysis.

Overview

Least-biased preamplification—obtain at least 2–3X fewer outliers than other commercially available preamplification mixes
Greatest sensitivity—start with as little as 100 pg of cDNA or gDNA
Universal compatibility—preamplified samples can be used for real-time PCR on over 100 green intercalating dye or probe-based targets and for SNP genotyping and target enrichment
Convenient, ready-to-use master mix—just add cDNA or gDNA samples and primers, and then cycle 10–14 times
