The BigDye™ Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit provides a robust, high-fidelity solution for Sanger sequencing applications including de novo sequencing, resequencing, mutation detection, and finishing of complex templates. Its advanced dye chemistry ensures longer read lengths, improved base calling accuracy, and consistent peak heights, even in GC- or GT-rich and complex mixed-base regions.
Optimized for performance on a wide range of DNA template types and compatible with all Applied Biosystems capillary electrophoresis platforms, this kit is trusted by genomics researchers for producing reliable and reproducible sequence data at scale.
Key Features
- Superior signal balance with uniform peak heights
- Enhanced performance in AT-, GC-, and GT-rich templates
- Optimized for de novo and resequencing, mutation detection
- High compatibility with PCR products, plasmids, BACs, fosmids, and more
- Available in formats for both low- and high-throughput sequencing
- Compatible with 96- and 384-well thermal cycling formats
