We offer dilution buffers optimised for a variety of sequencing machines. Using these buffers can help you save money by reducing your costs. Furthermore, they have been designed to give the best chance of success by offering the possibility of enhanced sequencing reactions.
DNA Sequencing

BetterBase
This is a novel enhancing buffer designed for use with the ABI BigDye® v1.1 and v3.1 sequencing mixes. It is compatible for use with all sequencing machines and replaces either home-made or other commercial dilution buffers. In some instances it has also been shown to improve results from difficult templates.

BetterBuffer
This is a novel enhancing buffer designed for use with the ABI BigDye® sequencing mixes v1.0 and 3.0. Like BetterBase, it is compatible with all sequencing machines (except MegaBACE) and can be used to reduce costs in the same way. Simply dilute the ABI BigDye®, thereby reducing your consumption and reducing your costs.
5x BaseQ®
This is a straightforward 5x dilution buffer for sequencing reactions and should be used as a direct replacement for ABI dilution buffers. Unlike BetterBase or BetterBuffer it offers no capacity for sequencing enhancement.
