The Accuris PR6000-24 is the 24-reaction pack of the SmartDye™ Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit, a cycle sequencing kit based on the Sanger method for DNA sequencing, containing fluorescently labelled dideoxynucleotide terminators, DNA polymerase, and a 5X optimized buffer. It is a direct replacement for the Applied Biosystems™ BigDye™ Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit, requiring no protocol adjustment, mobility-shift files, or recalibration. This 24-reaction pack is the smallest pack-size in the family, ideal for first-use evaluation or single-batch low-throughput Sanger sequencing workflows (24-sample plate single-pass sequencing, evaluation runs, method-development).
Accuris's proprietary optimized dye chemistry delivers a high signal-to-noise ratio and extended read lengths, especially in GC-rich regions. Reaction time is as short as 3 minutes, and the chemistry stays effective at minimal volumes (0.15µl dye in a 5µl total reaction). Applications span de novo sequencing, resequencing, and finishing, and it is compatible with PCR products, plasmids, BACs, and fosmids.

SmartDye Pack-Size Family: Per-Reaction Cost Curve
| SKU | Reactions | List price | Per-reaction cost |
| PR6000-24 (this product) | 24 | $450 | $18.75 |
| PR6000-100 | 100 | $1,200 | $12.00 |

Per-reaction premium at 24-rxn pack vs production scale: $18.75 vs $7.80 = 2.4× per-rxn cost premium. Justified for evaluation / low-throughput; not justified for production-scale workflows where the bulk packs deliver meaningful per-reaction cost saving.
Application Profile
SmartDye chemistry first-time evaluation. Labs evaluating Accuris SmartDye for the first time use the 24-reaction pack for an initial validation run on their specific Sanger sequencer.
Single 24-sample plate sequencing: labs running occasional 24-sample sequencing batches (typical small-research-group clone verification, single-experiment sequencing).
Sequencer-compatibility validation. Labs validating SmartDye chemistry on their specific capillary sequencer model before bulk procurement (specific sequencer compatibility is not stated on the manufacturer page; confirm at order).
Method-development reagent workflows. Protocol-development workflows where small-batch reagent procurement supports iterative validation.
Educational laboratory sequencing demonstrations. Molecular-biology coursework introducing Sanger sequencing on a per-class budget.
Ordering & Configuration
Single-batch / evaluation-pack consumable. 24-reaction pack supports a meaningful Sanger sequencing validation or single-batch run.
Sequencer-compatibility confirmation. Confirm SmartDye chemistry compatibility with the lab's specific Sanger sequencer.
Storage. Storage conditions are not stated on the manufacturer product page. Confirm at order.
Confirm at quote: sequencer compatibility (not stated on the manufacturer page; confirm at order), evaluation intent vs production-pack ordering, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Accuris standard reagent terms. Confirm at quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
