Application
Mineral oil has been used:
- for routine PCR amplifications
- to improve the heat conductivity between the device and the cycler during reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) amplification
- to prevent evaporation during single-cell MATQ-sequencing performed on Bravo automated liquid handling platform
Features and Benefits
- Provided in a convenient 5 × 1.5 mL (1 vial) pack size
- Tested for the absence of DNase, RNase, and protease.
General description
Mineral oil is used as a reaction mix overlay in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) to prevent reaction solutions from evaporating during the thermal cycling in PCR instruments without heated lids.
Storage Class

The response of stomata to a reduction of air humidity is composed of a hydropassive opening followed by active closure. Whereas the mechanisms behind the hydropassive opening are largely understood, the location and physiological basis of the sensing mechanisms leading

Discriminating cellular heterogeneity is important for understanding cellular physiology. However, it is limited by the technical difficulties of single-cell measurements. Here we develop a two-stage system to determine cellular heterogeneity. In the first stage, we perform multiplex single-cell RNA cytometry

The mammalian cochlea loses its ability to regenerate new hair cells prior to the onset of hearing. In contrast, the adult vestibular system can produce new hair cells in response to damage, or by reprogramming of supporting cells with the

Cancer cells function as primary architects of the tumor microenvironment. However, the molecular features of cancer cells that govern stromal cell phenotypes remain unclear. Here, we show that cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) heterogeneity is driven by lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells at

A prototype handheld, compact, rapid thermocycler was developed for multiplex analysis of nucleic acids in an inexpensive, portable configuration. Instead of the commonly used Peltier heating/cooling element, electric thin-film resistive heater and a miniature fan enable rapid heating and cooling
