UK specialist Provides Microzone PCR and DNA Reagents to Life Science Market
Cambio, distributor of high-quality life science products in the UK, is able to supply its customers with a selection of reagents by Microzone. MegaMix, microLYSIS®
and MicroCLEAN are each specifically designed as convenient and
efficient solutions for PCR, DNA release and DNA clean-up respectively. By incorporating these reagents into their procedures, life scientists can save time that would otherwise be spent creating their own mixes, as well as reducing risk of contamination. Thanks to their standardised formulation, the Microzone reagents also dramatically increase the reproducibility of DNA amplification, giving researchers the upmost confidence in their methods, and therefore their results.
MegaMix is a PCR master mix containing all the fixed components needed for PCR amplification, including an enzyme cocktail consisting of two Taq polymerases, dNTPs, MgCl2, reaction buffers and enzyme stabilisers. All these components are optimised to maximise yield with minimal non-specific background and the product is exceptionally easy to use – the MegaMix just has to be thawed, the recommended volume drawn and DNA and primers added. MegaMix can survive multiple freeze/thaw cycles without deterioration of either product or function. MegaMix is also available with dye to allow easy visualisation, and double concentrated for added convenience.
Cambio also supplies Microzone’s MicroCLEAN and microLYSIS® products. MicroCLEAN is a rapid, one tube, one and half spin DNA reagent which cleans up
any double stranded DNA from reaction buffers, enzymes, primers or dNTPs. The versatile reagent has no limit on the size or volume of the target DNA and requires no additional manipulation, such as phenol extractions or spin columns.
MicroLYSIS® and microLYSIS® the unique mycroLYSIS®
as those found in plant and some animal tissues, microLYSIS®
-Plus are novel reagents designed for use as a pre-step to PCR. When combined with rapid heating and cooling of thermocyclers, formulation effectively lyses the cells and enables users to reach the PCR stage in less than 15 minutes. For tougher cell samples, such -Plus can still offer the same impressive results.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc recently launched a business mentoring project with local sixth form students. The ‘Mission to Mars’ project will give the students chance to design and promote their own interactive display, to promote innovative laboratory products alongside leading industry suppliers at Science World 2013. 14 students from Delisle College in Loughborough will work with members of the Fisher Scientific marketing and promotions team, to hone their creative and business skills and gain valuable experience in the commercial world. The project is the latest initiative for the Thermo Fisher Scientific Community Action Council, which forges links with communities to provide support and opportunities for local people.
Richard Buttinger, Community Development Leader at Delisle College commented “We launched the project with Fisher Scientific as part of National Science and Engineering Week and the students are really excited. They are at a crucial point in their education and gaining professional experience in this way is invaluable”
“We are already impressed by the students’ ideas and professionalism,” said Emily Quinton, Marketing Communications Manager and European Event Coordinator for Fisher Scientific. “We have every confidence that they will produce a brilliant display at the event and are delighted to provide them with this opportunity.”
This year’s Science World event will take place on 10th October at The Point, Lancashire County Cricket Club, Old Trafford. The keynote speakers will be Ben Goldacre and Marcus Du Sautoy. For more information visit
