THE PACE® MASTER MIX RANGE

OUR PACE® MASTER MIX RANGE OFFERS NEXT-LEVEL BENEFITS AND
APPLICATIONS

Our patented genotyping chemistry, PACE®, is the latest in allele-specific chemistry. It provides consistent performance making it ideal for high throughput genotyping applications. PACE® genotyping master mixes are designed for use with PACE® Genotyping Assays and are also compatible with pre-existing KASP™ and Amplifluor® assays.

Unlike probe-based products such as TaqMan™, PACE® assays only require un-labelled primer oligos to make up the PACE® genotyping reaction, in combination with PACE Genotyping Master Mix. Watch our quick video explaining how PACE® genotyping works.

All our master mixes are supplied at 2x concentration for convenience and contain ROX
normalising dye at either high (500 nM working concentration), low (25 nM working concentration), standard ROX level (150 nM working concentration) or without ROX.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PACE Master Mix is compatibile with most qPCR machines, thermal cyclers and fluorescence plate readers. You can check compatibility with our PACE Instrument Compatibility Guide here.

Yes, PACE Master Mix works well with low purity, low concentration DNA samples. Purification of DNA will generally lead to better genotyping data quality than using a crude extract, but PACE Genotyping Master Mix works well with most crude DNA extraction methods. For some crops such as palm oil, where inhibitor concentration is high in crude extracts, we recommend the use of PACE 2.0 Genotyping Master Mix, which contains inhibitor-resistant components.

Unlike 5’ nuclease based probe-based products such as TaqMan™, PACE genotyping reactions only require un-labelled primer oligos to make up the PACE genotyping reaction, in combination with PACE Genotyping Master Mix, making them much more cost-effective, and quicker and easier to create new marker assays.

The PACE Genotyping Trial Kits contain everything you need to run a trial PACE® allele-specific PCR Genotyping Reaction on your existing lab equipment.  It comes with a set of validated DNA samples, SNP assays, and PACE Master Mix.

Available for PACE Genotyping Master Mix, PACE 2.0 Genotyping Master Mix, PACE Multiplex Master Mix, and PACE Nano Genotyping Master Mix.

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.
