All Predesigned PrimeTime qPCR Sequences are shipped dried down. The amount of primer and probe shipped depends on the scale ordered.
The Mini scale is available at a fixed amount of 1 nmol primers (each) and 0.5 nmol probe. The Standard (500–20 µL reactions) and XL (2500−20 µL reactions) scales have options for primer-to-probe ratio (ranging from 1:1 to 4:1) and a variety of dye/quencher combinations are available.
Standard final concentrations in a qPCR assay are 500 nM for each primer and 250 nM for each probe.
