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.
