THE PACE® PCR Master Mix Range

Next-Level Performance & Applications for Modern Genotyping

Our patented PACE chemistry represents the latest advancement in allele-specific PCR, delivering the consistent, high-quality performance required for high-throughput genotyping. Each PACE PCR master mix is designed for use with PACE Genotyping Assays and is fully compatible with existing KASP™ and Amplifluor® assay workflows, making it simple to upgrade without changing your processes.

Unlike probe-based products such as TaqManâ„¢, 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 PACE PCR master mixes are supplied at a convenient 2× concentration and include ROX normalising dye options to match your instrument requirements – high (500 nM), low (25 nM), standard (150 nM), or no ROX.

Understanding PCR Master Mix Components

A PCR master mix brings together the essential ingredients needed for robust, consistent amplification, removing the variability that comes with preparing each component separately. The core components are always the same, but the quality and balance of those components determine how well your reactions perform.

In a typical PCR master mix, you’ll find a thermostable DNA polymerase, dNTPs, magnesium ions, and a carefully optimised buffer system to support consistent enzyme activity. Many mixes, including the PACE range, also include stabilisers to maintain performance across different reaction volumes, plus optional ROX dye levels to suit a variety of instruments. How these components are formulated makes a significant difference, especially in fluorescence-based SNP genotyping, where signal clarity and clustering matter.

PACE PCR master mixes are built around this principle: the right components, balanced precisely, to deliver clean data and reliable results for high-throughput workflows.
