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.

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.

Na(4)Si(4) and Na(4)Ge(4) are ideal chemical precursors for inorganic clathrate structures, clusters, and nanocrystals. The monoclinic Zintl phases, Na(4)Si(4) and Na(4)Ge(4), contain isolated homo-tetrahedranide [Si(4)](4-) and [Ge(4)](4-) clusters surrounded by alkali metal cations.
