The PR1300-MG-S is the trial / sample-size SKU of the Accuris 1 Hour Mammalian Genotyping Kit family — 8-reaction pack for first-use evaluation of the complete extraction + amplification workflow before committing to the larger production-scale packs (PR1300-MG-80 at $148 / PR1300-MG-400 at $646). At $10 list price, the sample SKU enables labs to validate the 1-hour genotyping workflow on their specific transgenic mouse / rat colony — particularly important for confirming sample-type compatibility (tail snip vs ear punch vs blood) and primer-pair design before scaling to production.
Key Specifications
| SKU | PR1300-MG-S |
| Type | Sample / trial pack — Accuris 1 Hour Mammalian Genotyping Kit |
| Pack quantity | 8 reactions |
| Workflow | Complete extraction + amplification — DNA extraction & amplification in as little as 1 hour |
| Compatible sample types | Tail snips, ear punches, blood, FFPE tissue sections, buccal swabs, hair, solid animal tissues |
| Per-reaction cost (sample) | $1.27 (lowest in the family — promotional sample pricing) |
| Production-scale follow-on | PR1300-MG-80 ($148, $1.85/rxn), PR1300-MG-400 ($646, $1.62/rxn) |
| List price | $10 |
Sample-Pack Promotional Pricing Pattern
The PR1300-MG-S at $1.27 per reaction is lower per-reaction than either production-scale pack ($1.85 at 80-rxn, $1.62 at 400-rxn) — atypical for the Accuris sample-pricing pattern (most polymerase samples carry equivalent or higher per-reaction cost vs production packs). The promotional pricing reflects:
- Workflow complexity — mammalian genotyping evaluation requires more validation effort than simple polymerase chemistry evaluation; promotional pricing reduces evaluation barrier
- Sample-type confirmation cost — labs need to validate that their specific sample type (tail snip vs ear punch vs blood vs FFPE) works in the kit's lysis chemistry; the 8-rxn sample supports a meaningful sample-type test
- Promotional acquisition — Accuris benefits from getting labs on the workflow with the lowest possible evaluation cost
What 8 Reactions Supports — Validation Plan
A typical 8-reaction validation plan for the PR1300-MG sample:
| Validation step | Reactions used |
| No-template control (negative) | 1 |
| Wild-type sample positive control | 1 |
| Mutant / transgene sample positive control | 1 |
| Sample-type variation tests (tail snip + ear punch + buccal swab) | 3 |
| Replicate confirmation | 2 |
| Total | 8 |
This validation plan supports a complete first-use evaluation: confirm the kit chemistry works on the lab's specific samples, primer design produces the expected genotyping bands, and the workflow timing matches the 1-hour promise on the lab's specific equipment.
Per Brochure Genotyping Applications
Per Accuris Life Science Reagents Catalog, the 1 Hour Mammalian Genotyping Kit applications include:
- DNA Extraction & Amplification from mammalian tissue — primary application
- Sample types: blood, buccal swabs, hair, tail snips, ear punches, FFPE, solid animal tissues
Application Profile
Mammalian genotyping kit first-time evaluation — labs evaluating the Accuris kit for the first time use the sample to validate fit before bulk procurement.
Sample-type protocol validation — labs comparing tail snip vs ear punch vs blood sample-prep workflows for their specific mouse / rat colony genotyping.
Primer-pair validation — labs designing new genotyping primer pairs (for novel transgenic lines) use the sample to confirm primer performance in the kit's chemistry.
Animal-facility procurement evaluation — animal-facility cores evaluating Accuris vs alternate genotyping kit chemistry for facility-wide standardization.
Sales / training samples — sales reps and training programs use the sample for hands-on customer demonstrations.
Educational laboratory genetics exercises — undergraduate / graduate genetics coursework introducing mammalian genotyping concepts.
Ordering & Configuration
