All our master mixes can be used with hydrated or dry DNA samples. If high numbers of samples are to be genotyped in one run, drying the DNA samples can improve the resulting genotype data.
To dry the DNA, once dispensed into a PCR plate, the plate should be centrifuged to ensure the samples are all in the bottom of the wells, and then placed in a laboratory fan oven for one hour at 55˚C, or until the samples have visibly dried. DNA dried onto a PCR plate is stable long term at ambient temperature.
