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.
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[1]
to prevent evaporation during single-cell MATQ-sequencing performed on Bravo automated liquid handling platform[2][3]
Features and Benefits
Provided in a convenient 5 × 1.5 mL (1 vial) pack size
Tested for the absence of DNase, RNase, and protease.
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
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 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
