Direct amplification of crudely lysed plant DNA samples is a fast and convenient technique that avoids the need for laborious, time-consuming, and expensive nucleic acid extractions prior to qPCR. Air-Dryable™ Direct qPCR Plant is a glycerol-free, high-concentration, ready-to-use qPCR formulation engineered with a proprietary buffer system designed for overcoming inhibitors found in plants. is the first commercially available mix designed for developing ambient-temperature stable assays for the direct quantitation of DNA from plants. It combines the benefits of inhibitor tolerance with air-drying to create highly sensitive and cost-effective plant assays. It can be used wet or dried and is ideal for room temperature, dried, singleplex and multiplex qPCR assays and is suited for high-throughput, automated platforms.
