PACEĀ® Multiplex Master Mix

PACE Multiplex Master Mix for the simultaneous detection of up to four targets in one reaction. Save time, cost, and consumables while maximising data generation.

About

PACE Multiplex Master Mix is an advanced and versatile extension of our PACE 2.0 Genotyping Master Mix, formulated for the simultaneous detection of up to four targets in one reaction well. For example, two bi-allelic SNPs, or one reference gene and a further three genes of interest.

PACE Multiplex genotyping assay designs are available from 3CR Bioscience through our free PACE assay design service; once designed, users can purchase assay primers independently or through 3CR Bioscience using our partial or full-assay validation service.

Users will require a plate reader capable of reading FAM, HEX, ATTO 590, ATTO 647N andĀ reference dye ATTO 680 (wavelengths in the PACE Multiplex Master Mix User Guide). PACE Multiplex Master Mix is supplied at 2x concentration for convenience and with or without ATTO 680 reference dye at a range of levels to ensure compatibility with your qPCR machine or reader.

FAQ:

What are the optimal storage conditions for PACE genotyping master mix?

PACE and PACE 2.0 Genotyping Master Mix can be stored at 4Ā°C for up to two weeks. However, for longer term storage we recommend storing the master mix at -20Ā°C in smaller aliquots to minimise freeze / thaw cycles.

How do I know if my reader is compatible with PACE multiplex master mix?

You will require a plate reader capable of reading FAM, HEX, ATTO 590, ATTO 647N and ATTO 680 (the wavelengths of which can be found in our PACE Multiplex Master Mix User Guide). It is important that filters used in the plate reader have narrow bandwidths (10 nm) to avoid cross fluorescence. Alternatively, plate readers using monochromators capable of using at least five channels with 10 nm bandwidth will also work.

Can I use PACE Multiplex Master Mix on my qPCR instrument?

PACE Multiplex Master Mix contains uses the fluorophores FAM, HEX, ATTO 590, ATTO 647N. You can use PACE Multiplex Master Mix on any qPCR instrument or with any plate reader that can detect these fluorophores. Please refer to the PACE Multiplex Master Mix User Guide and your instrument manufacturer first.

Do you also offer a free assay design service for 5ā€™ nuclease probe-based (e.g., TaqManā„¢) assays for use with ProbeSure genotyping master mix?

No. However, 5ā€™ nuclease assays are available from a range of manufacturers, such as IDT.

MEET OUR TEAM

Steve Asquith Managing Director
Steve began his career in the Genetics Division of GlaxoSmithKline, as part of the team establishing GSKā€™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 companyā€™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 PACEĀ®, ProbeSure, KASPā„¢, KlearKall, KlearGene, KlearAmp and KlearTaqā„¢, 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. Nisha has more than 15 yearsā€™ experience working in molecular biology and genotyping technologies, with extensive experience in the areas of R&D, Quality Assurance and Customer Technical Support. She has technically assisted many giants of the industry with their protocol development and troubleshooting and continues to deliver high-quality support and guidance. In 2018, Nisha joined 3CR Bioscience as Operations Director where she continues to develop PACE and ProbeSure for an increasing range of applications, and to grow 3CR Bioscienceā€™s new product pipeline. Nisha is dedicated to developing outstanding, innovative genotyping products and providing the very best technical support to customers globally.
Nazma Saffin General Manager
For 20 years Nazma Saffin has worked and gained extensive expertise within the genotyping sector. Working at Kbioscience and then LGC, she has held operational leadership posts responsible for manufacturing and laboratory services. With experience of ISO 9001 implementation, production scale up and LEAN operations, Nazma has successfully led highly profitable production departments. Joining 3CR Bioscience in 2022, Nazma is committed to delivering operational excellence.
Jon Curtis Non-Executive Chair
After 8 years in The Royal Air Force, Jon moved to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund where he pioneered the use of ultra high-throughput genomic automation, capable of 46,000 PCRs per hour. In the 1990ā€™s Jon joined GlaxoSmithKline, implementing a high-throughput genomics platform into their drug discovery pipeline. Whilst there he also developed acoustic mixing into compound management, becoming the gold standard across pharma. Jon developed the worldā€™s first commercially viable 1536-well PCR plates, automated thermal & laser plate-sealer, plus automated liquid-handling & tip washing tools to reduce waste and costs. In 2002 Jon co-founded KBioscience with Phil Robinson, utilising ultra high-throughput PCR instrumentation & a suite of automation tools to create the companyā€™s SNPline robotic platform, with a capacity of 250,000 PCRs/day. The business was underpinned by their ground-breaking patented genotyping chemistry, KASPā„¢, which has over 10,000 scientific papers to date. In November 2022 Jon joined 3CR Bioscience acting as an advisor bringing his commercial and scientific experience to the company.
