About
PACE Multiplex Master Mix for the simultaneous detection of up to four targets in one reaction. Save time, cost, and consumables while maximising data generation.
PACE Multiplex Master Mix is an advanced and versatile extension of our PACE 2.0 Genotyping Master Mix, formulated for the simultaneous detection of up to four targets in one reaction well. For example, two bi-allelic SNPs, or one reference gene and a further three genes of interest.
PACE Multiplex genotyping assay designs are available from 3CR Bioscience through our free PACE assay design service; once designed, users can purchase assay primers independently or through 3CR Bioscience using our partial or full-assay validation service.
Users will require a plate reader capable of reading FAM, HEX, ATTO 590, ATTO 647N and reference dye ATTO 680 (wavelengths in the PACE Multiplex Master Mix User Guide). PACE Multiplex Master Mix is supplied at 2x concentration for convenience and with or without ATTO 680 reference dye at a range of levels to ensure compatibility with your qPCR machine or reader.

Hyaluronic Acid: A gentle giant!
Hyaluronic acid, in its hydrated form, is a unique carbohydrate polymer, often referred to as a ‘gentle giant.’ It consists of a lengthy, flexible, non-branching chain with a repeating disaccharide pattern. This disaccharide is composed of alternating uronic acid and aminosugar units.
Why is our kit called ‘Purple-Jelley’?
Discovering the J-Aggregate Effect in Cyanine DyesIn 1936, Edwin Jelley made a fascinating observation, documented it in a letter to Nature (Nature 138, 1009 – 1010). He noted a peculiar behaviour of certain cyanine dyes, that when dissolved in 5 M NaCl, they dyes exhibited a third absorbance peak at a longer wavelength, around 650nm. In deionized water, however, they displayed only a double peak at approximately 540nm and 570nm. The 650nm peak in concentrated dye solutions resulted from the aggregation of dye molecules and was later termed a ‘J-aggregate,’ in honor of Edwin Jelley. The J-aggregate is known as a supra-molecular complex, formed by stacking individual dye molecules.
Subsequent research in the 1960s, notably by Kay et al. (J. Physical Chem. 68, 1896 – 1906), revealed that various biological polymers, including proteins, DNA, polar lipids, and glycosaminoglycans, could also induce this third absorbance peak. This phenomenon led to the development of the Purple-Jelley assay, named after the purple color of the dye reagent and Edwin Jelley himself.
An overview of the Purple-Jelley assay steps:
During the assay, hyaluronic acid is selectively purified during the assay sample preparation protocol. This is then reacted with the Purple-Jelley dye reagent, and the absorption of the characteristic third wavelength recorded. By comparison with a calibration curve the hyaluronic acid content of the sample can be measured.
Step 1. The assay protocol takes tissue samples through a sequential sample preparation protocol which involves enzymatic protein digestion, followed by precipitation and purification of GAGs, culminating in the precipitation of purified Hyaluronic acid.
Step2. The processed sample is then incubated for 10 minutes with the Purple-Jelley dye reagent, forming a coloured product which can be measured spectrophotometrically.
Step 3. The Hyaluronic acid content of unknown samples can be calculated by comparison against a calibration curve prepared using a standard comprising hyaluronic acid (supplied with the kit).
Assay range
10 – 100µg/ml
Limit of Detection
10µg/ml
Detection Method
Colorimetric Detection (655nm) (Endpoint)
Measurements per kit
100 in total (allows a maximum of 46 samples to be run in duplicate alongside a standard curve).
Suitable Samples
In-vivo: Hyaluronic acid purified from in-vivo tissues. The kit protocol involves extraction and purification of hyaluronic acid prior to reaction with the Purple-Dye reagent.
Precautions
This kit is designed for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Kit requires access to a centrifuge, as well as a spectrophotometer/colorimeter capable of colorimetric, absorbance detection at 655nm. Specific sample preparation protocols may require customer to provide further reagents, consult assay manual for further information.

Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization magnetic beads are often used for DNA purification because they are simple, fast, and effective. The beads are paramagnetic particles coated with carboxyl groups that reversibly bind to nucleic acid. However, Standard SPRI beads can only purify DNA/RNA fragments that are 100 base pairs or longer. DNA/RNA fragments shorter than 100 base pairs are not effectively recovered by SPRI beads. We have developed Magnetic Beads(microRNA & Oligo Purification) to solve the problem.
With our proprietary beads technology, the beads overcomes the hurdle of the short DNA/RNA recovery problem. The magnetic beads is ideal for microRNA purification, oligo purification, short DNA/RNA purification, and removing impurities and unwanted components such as dNTPs, detergents, salts, proteins, and other contaminants effectively. The magnetic bead reagents are RNase-free and can be used for both DNA and RNA applications.
Our magnetic beads are optimized for microRNA purification, oligo purification, and DNA/RNA purification. The fragments can be as short as 20 bases, such as microRNA, tRNA, dsDNA fragments 20 bp or longer, ssDNA fragments 20 nt or longer, RNA fragments 20 nt or longer, DNA/RNA hybrid fragments 20 bp or longer, and oligos and chimeric oligos 20 nt or longer. Purified short DNA and RNA fragments are ideal for applications requiring high-quality fragments, as the fragments are free of impurities and contaminants.
Comparison of short DNA fragments recovery. BioDynami 20 bp DNA ladder (Cat. # 10002) was used as DNA input. Ampure XP beads, BioDynami beads (DNA & RNA purification) and BioDynami beads (microRNA & Oligo purification) were tested. Only BioDynami beads (microRNA & Oligo purification) successfully recovered DNA fragments between 20-100 bp.
Recovery of DNA and RNA oligos with BioDynami magnetic Beads (microRNA & Oligo Purification). 20 nt of DNA oligos and RNA oligos were used as input. Input and recovered oligos were quantified with BioDynami ssDNA Quantification kit (Cat. # 40043) and BioDynami RNA Quantification kit (Cat. # 40044).
