Reference products and catalogue numbers

Find your current product, then review the relevant YEASEN option. These products serve related applications but have different formulations and instructions.

Questions before switching products

Can I replace a colourless PCR mix with a mix containing dye?

Check the intended downstream application first. Included dye changes the format. Review the selected manufacturer's stated compatibility with your downstream application.

Section link

Should I use this guide for a Q5 high-fidelity comparison?

Use our dedicated Q5 and high-fidelity PCR guide for that decision. Routine PCR or genotyping suitability does not establish comparable proofreading performance.

Section link

Which reference should I put on a quotation request?

Include the exact catalogue number, whether a coloured or colourless mix is required, the intended application and the pack size. We can then identify a relevant Yeasen option without treating all PCR mixes as equivalent.
