The PR1001-R-S is the trial / sample-size SKU of the Accuris standard Taq + Red Dye 2X master mix family — 5-reaction pack for first-use evaluation of the Red Dye direct-gel-load workflow before committing to the larger production-scale packs. list price, the sample SKU enables labs to validate the Red Dye direct-gel-load workflow on their specific PCR target and downstream gel-doc setup.
Key Specifications
| SKU | PR1001-R-S |
| Type | Sample / trial pack — Accuris standard Taq + Red Dye Master Mix |
| Pack quantity | 5 reactions |
| PCR mode | Standard endpoint Taq (non-hot-start, non-HF) + inert red gel loading dye |
| Format | Single-tube 2X master mix with Red Dye |
| Workflow | Direct gel loading — no separate loading-dye addition step |
| Sister sample SKU | PR1001-S |
| Production-scale follow-on | PR1001-R-200, PR1001-R-1000 |
Standard vs Red Dye Sample Pair — Workflow Comparison
The two PR1001 standard Taq sample SKUs each enable a direct workflow comparison on the lab's specific PCR target:
| Sample SKU | Master mix variant | Workflow advantage |
| PR1001-S | No Red Dye | Standard PCR-to-gel workflow with separate loading-dye addition; compatible with downstream sequencing / cloning / fluorescence detection |
| PR1001-R-S (this product) | + Red Dye | Direct gel loading workflow — eliminates separate loading-dye addition step |
Procurement strategy. Labs deciding between the standard and Red Dye master mix variants can order both samples for a direct workflow comparison — confirm whether the Red Dye direct-gel-load workflow simplification justifies the variant selection vs the no-dye flexibility for downstream-sensitive workflows.
Per Brochure Standard Taq + Red Dye Applications
Per Accuris Life Science Reagents Catalog, the Red Dye master mix supports the same applications as standard PR1001 master mix (Colony PCR, Fast PCR, Genotyping, High-throughput PCR, Routine PCR) plus the direct-gel-load workflow advantage.
When to Pick Red Dye Sample for Workflow Validation
Order the PR1001-R-S sample when:
- Lab is evaluating Red Dye direct-gel-load workflow for the first time — validate that the dye does not interfere with the lab's specific gel-doc system (UV transilluminator vs blue-light SmartBlue; SmartGlow / SYBR Green / Gel Green / EtBr stain compatibility)
- Comparing Red Dye vs separate-loading-dye workflows — pair with PR1001-S for direct comparison
- Validating downstream gel-band excision workflow with Red Dye-loaded PCR products (some band-cutting workflows may interact with the inert dye)
- Sales / training demonstrations of the Red Dye workflow advantage
Application Profile
Red Dye master mix workflow first-time evaluation — labs evaluating the direct-gel-load workflow for the first time use the sample to validate fit before bulk procurement.
Standard vs Red Dye workflow comparison — labs comparing the two PR1001 standard Taq variants use both PR1001-S and PR1001-R-S samples for the comparison.
Multi-operator screening bench validation — facilities considering the Red Dye workflow for high-throughput screening use the sample to validate operator-acceptance and workflow consistency.
Sales / training samples — sales reps and training programs use the sample for hands-on customer demonstrations of the direct-gel-load workflow.
Educational laboratory PCR exercises — molecular-biology coursework introducing the Red Dye workflow concept.
Ordering & Configuration
Single-use sample SKU. The 5-reaction pack supports a small validation run; not intended for routine production use.
Pair with template / primers / water. The master mix includes the polymerase + buffer + dNTPs + MgCl₂ + Red Dye; operator supplies template, primers, and water.
Confirm at quote: Red Dye workflow evaluation intent (vs PR1001-R-200 / -1000 production-pack ordering), comparison to no-dye workflow (PR1001-S sample for parallel validation), downstream workflow Red Dye compatibility considerations, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard reagent terms — confirm at quote.
