PCR Beads
Product Code : LSK-BL-10169
PCR Beads (SKU LSK-BL-10169) come as a bottle of 25 beads for the polymerase chain reaction, each reaction containing Taq DNA polymerase buffer, a dNTP mixture, MgCl2 and Taq DNA polymerase. Students add primers, template DNA and water, then run the thermal cycle to copy a chosen DNA sequence. The beads are kept at room temperature with desiccant. Enquiries for the beads go to Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which quotes them for colleges, universities, schools and laboratory resellers.
Specifications
The PCR Beads specification is laid out in the table. In short, one bottle holds 25 beads; each PCR contains Taq DNA polymerase buffer, dNTP mixture, MgCl2 and Taq DNA polymerase, and the bottle is stored at room temperature together with a desiccant to keep the beads dry.

Applications and Experiments for the PCR Beads
The beads are used to set up PCR quickly in teaching labs: the enzyme, buffer, nucleotides and magnesium are already combined, so students only add primers, template and water. They support Class 12 biotechnology demonstrations and B.Sc. and M.Sc. molecular biology and biotechnology practicals.
- CBSE/NCERT Class 12 biotechnology (principles and processes): amplifying a DNA fragment to show how PCR copies a sequence.
- B.Sc. and M.Sc. practicals: amplifying target DNA from extracted samples, pipetting with Pipette Tip Barrier Ster 200ul tips and spinning tubes down in a Mini Centrifuge.
- Checking PCR products by agarose gel electrophoresis after the run.
Keep the bottle closed with its desiccant and wear gloves when handling reagents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
One bottle containing 25 PCR beads is supplied, each reaction providing Taq DNA polymerase buffer, dNTP mixture, MgCl2 and Taq DNA polymerase. Primers, template DNA, PCR tubes and a thermal cycler are not included; buffers and tips can share the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be raised for a single bottle for a demonstration or for several bottles to cover each group in a practical batch. Science Lab Supplies includes the packing, delivery time and price for the chosen number of bottles, and gel reagents can be priced on the same quote.
Using its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Put your question on the contact page, place the beads in the enquiry cart, or visit the lab tender page for tender items.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is in each PCR Bead reaction?
Each PCR contains Taq DNA polymerase buffer, a dNTP mixture, MgCl2 and Taq DNA polymerase. You add your own primers, template DNA and water to complete the reaction before thermal cycling.
How should the beads be stored?
Store the bottle at room temperature with desiccant, keeping it closed so the beads stay dry. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the batch expiry date.
How many beads are in a bottle?
A bottle contains 25 beads. For larger classes, several bottles can be quoted together so that every group has enough beads for its own amplification and a control.
Who supplies the PCR Beads?
Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory supplier in Ambala, India, handles this product. It sends quotations and arranges packing and dispatch to universities, colleges, schools and distributors in India and abroad.
