PR1MA™ PBS [Phosphate Buffered Saline]
Common Name: Phosphate Buffered Saline
CAS Number: 7647-14-5; 7447-40-7; 7558-79-4; 7778-77-0
Solubility: Water
Storage Temp: Room Temperature
PBS, 100 mL Tablets refer to pre-weighed tablets that are used to prepare a specific volume of PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline) solution.
PBS is a widely used buffer solution in biological and biochemical research. PBS serves as a versatile buffer for various applications, including cell culture, immunohistochemistry, protein and nucleic acid research, and diagnostic assays. It helps maintain a stable pH and osmolarity, providing optimal conditions for biological reactions and preserving the integrity of cells and biomolecules.
Each tablet contains pre-determined amounts of sodium chloride, sodium phosphate dibasic, and potassium phosphate monobasic. When dissolved in distilled water or a suitable solvent, the tablet dissolves, releasing the components, and instantly forms a ready-to-use PBS solution with a total volume of 100 mL.
These tablets ensure accurate and consistent preparation of PBS, eliminating the need for weighing and measuring individual components. They are designed to simplify the process and save time in laboratory workflows.

PR1MA™ qMAX Green qPCR Mix with Blue Tracking Dye
PR1MA™ qMAX Green qPCR Mix with Blue Tracking Dye
- Superior sensitivity and fast cycling with exceptional results
- Ideal for low copy number templates
- Early Ct values and detection across a broad dynamic range
- Ready to use 2X Master Mix
- Includes PR1MA™ Hot Start Taq Polymerase for greater specificity and accuracy
Supplied as a ready-to-use 2X master mix, PR1MA™ qMax Green has been engineered for high sensitivity, fast cycling, and excellent reproducibility. PR1MA™ Hot Start Polymerase provides accurate PCR of a variety of templates including low copy number and difficult sequences, while the proprietary qMax Green intercalating dye exhibits higher fluorescence and lower PCR inhibition than other popular green dyes.
These two components are supported by a specially formulated buffer with an exacting combination of salts, PCR enhancers, stabilizers, and pH that results in earlier Ct values and a high specificity across a broad dynamic range.

PR1MA™ Malt Extract Agar, Powder
CAS Number: 8002-48-0
Solubility: Water with Heat
Storage Temp: Room Temperature
Malt Extract Agar is used for the isolation, cultivation, and maintenance of
yeasts and molds. Formulation is similar to Malt Extract Broth with the
addition of agar and glycerol. This broth medium was recommended by Thom
and Church for the cultivation of fungi. Its low acidity inhibits the
growth of most bacteria. The high carbohydrate content enhances the rapid
growth of fungi and yeasts.
