Kit includes: instructions, PCR EdvoBeads™, LyphoPrimer™ and LyphoTemplate™ DNA, DNA samples, TE buffer, UltraSpec-Agarose™, electrophoresis buffer (50x), SYBR® Safe stain, FlashBlue™ liquid stain, microcentifuge tubes, 0.2 ml PCR tubes, and wax beads.

All you need: thermal cycler, horizontal gel electrophoresis apparatus, power supply, microcentrifuge, UV transilluminator or UV photodocumentation system, UV safety goggles, white light visualisation system (optional if staining with FlashBlue™), automatic micropipettes and tips, microwave or hot plate, 250 ml flasks or beakers, hot gloves, and disposable lab gloves.
