Exciting news! 3CR Bioscience proudly unveils its latest offering โ€“ our range of PACE PCR Genotyping Trial Kits. These kits of designed for anyone who wants to try PACE genotyping reagents in their lab for the first time, offering a set of validated DNA samples, SNP assays, and PACE Master Mix. This comprehensive kit is meticulously crafted to provide researchers with all the necessary tools for a seamless trial experience, allowing you to experience a new era of genotyping precision.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND PACEยฎ GENOTYPING

The PACE allele-specific PCR mechanism is a robust methodology utilised for the detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), Insertions and Deletions (Indels), and other sequence variants. For detailed insights into the PACE genotyping chemistry visit our PACE product homepage or read our tech note on SNP and Indel genotyping with PACE.

WHATโ€™S INSIDE THE PACE GENOTYPING TRIAL KITS?   

The PACE Genotyping Trial Kits contain everything you need to run a trial PACEยฎ allele-specific PCR Genotyping Reaction on your existing lab equipment.  Available for PACE Genotyping Master Mix, PACE 2.0 Genotyping Master Mix, PACE Multiplex Master Mix, and PACE Nano Genotyping Master Mix.

Inside the kit, you’ll find:

  1. Test DNA Samples: Three carefully validated DNA samples (DNA 1, 2, and 3), each representing distinct genotypes, conveniently packaged for immediate use.
  2. PACE Genotyping Assays: A precisely formulated PACE Genotyping Assay, packaged in a single tube with a 2D barcode for easy identification.
  3. PACE Master Mix: The PACE Genotyping Master Mix or its variants โ€“ PACE 2.0 Genotyping Master Mix, PACE Multiplex Master Mix, or PACE Nano Genotyping Master Mix, ensuring flexibility and compatibility with diverse experimental requirements.
  4. Comprehensive Manual: A detailed PACE Genotyping Trial Kit Manual, providing step-by-step instructions for seamless experimentation.

WHO IS THIS TRIAL KIT FOR?

This trial kit is tailored for researchers seeking to explore the capabilities of PACE genotyping reagents in their laboratories. Whether you’re a seasoned scientist looking to adopt a new genotyping method or a novice researcher venturing into the realm of genomics, the PACE PCR Genotyping Trial Kit offers an ideal starting point.

TRIAL KIT OVERVIEW

Running a trial PACE Genotyping Reaction using the kit is a straightforward process:

  1. Dispense DNA Samples: Dispense the provided DNA samples (DNA 1, 2, and 3) along with a no-template control (water) in triplicate onto a PCR plate, following suggested volumes.
  2. Prepare PACE Reaction Mix: Combine the appropriate volumes of PACE Genotyping Master Mix with the PACE Genotyping Assay as directed, ensuring thorough mixing.
  3. Dispense PACE Reaction Mix: Dispense the prepared mixtures into each well containing DNA samples, adhering to indicated volumes, to complete the PACE Genotyping Reaction setup.
  4. Seal and Centrifuge: Seal the PCR plate with an optically clear seal and centrifuge to ensure proper mixing and distribution of components.
  5. Thermal Cycling: Execute thermal cycling of the reaction plate using provided cycling conditions.
  6. Data Analysis: Read the plate and compare the generated data with expected results outlined in the manual, simplifying result interpretation.

GEAR UP FOR YOUR GENOTYPING TRIAL

To facilitate successful experimentation with the PACE PCR Genotyping Trial Kit, ensure the availability of the following components:

  • qPCR machine or Thermocycler plus a fluorescent plate reader.
  • PCR plate or equivalent, along with an appropriate optically clear seal.
  • PCR-grade water for dilutions and reaction setup.

MEET OUR TEAM

Steve Asquith Managing Director
Steve began his career in the Genetics Division of GlaxoSmithKline, as part of the team establishing GSKโ€™s high-throughput core genotyping laboratory. Steve joined KBioscience when it was first founded in 2002 and was a key driver in taking the company from a small start-up to a multi-national service laboratory, quickly growing the companyโ€™s revenue to over $7.5M p.a. Following the acquisition of Kbioscience by LGC in 2011, Steve was appointed Global Director of Operations for LGC Genomics, responsible for over 100 staff in Europe and N. America, successfully elevating the genotyping products and service business. Steve held a crucial leadership role until he left in 2016. In 2017 Steve joined forces with John Holme to create 3CR Bioscience, a new company with a mission to deliver outstanding, customer-focused genotyping products with innovation and affordability at its core.
Dr. John Holme Technical Director
John joined KBioscience shortly after it was founded, in 2003, and became Head of Technical Development, building the company’s genotyping and DNA extraction product portfolio and service delivery until 2011 when it was acquired by LGC. Post-acquisition, John was appointed Head of Technical Group for LGC Genomics, in charge of all Research & Development and Technical Support activities for the company. In this role John continued to build on the high-quality products and services provided to the companies growing customer base. During the 19 years John has worked in commercial R&D, he has co-invented numerous highly successful products including PACEยฎ, ProbeSure, KASPโ„ข, KlearKall, KlearGene, KlearAmp and KlearTaqโ„ข, creating breakthrough offerings in genotyping and extraction and generating huge revenues for the companies he has worked in. In 2017, he joined forces with Steve Asquith and started 3CR Bioscience. John is dedicated to developing outstanding, innovative genotyping products and providing the very best technical support to customers globally.
Dr. Nisha JainOperations Director
Nisha has been innovating since the start of her career at Geneform Technologies developing Iso-thermal Genotyping Technologies. Nisha joined KBioscience in 2008, as Senior R&D Scientist and key account Technical Support Scientist, developing KASP and Klearkall performance and coinventing two further versions of KASP.
