Tools / Master Mix
Master Mix
PCR master mixes planned per reaction and scaled to the run.
List the components once with their per reaction volumes, set how many reactions you are running, and read the total for each component. The tedious multiplication table writes itself.
Mixes are saved as worksheets, so the recipe your PCR worked with last month is one click away, not somewhere in a notebook.
Stock to final, per component
Give each reagent its stock and final concentration; the per reaction volume follows.
Scale to n reactions
Change the reaction count and every total updates.
Overage built in
Add a percentage of extra volume so the last tube never runs dry.
Saved worksheets
Reuse the exact mix that worked instead of reconstructing it.
How it works
- Enter components and per reaction volumes.
- Set the number of reactions.
- Pipette from the totals, save the worksheet.
Who is this for?
Researchers, students and lab teams who want the routine arithmetic and paperwork of bench work handled, without installing anything.
Frequently asked questions
What is overage?
A percentage of extra volume added on top of your reaction count, so pipetting losses never leave the last tube short.
How are per reaction volumes found?
From each component's stock and final concentration and your reaction volume; you enter concentrations, the table does the rest.
Is it free?
Yes. LabBee is in beta and every tool is free. If paid plans ever arrive, we will say so clearly ahead of time.
Do I need to set up a lab?
No. Every tool works with just an account. The lab modules are there when your group wants them.
Is my work saved?
Tools that produce documents save them as worksheets you can reopen from the sidebar. Quick calculators simply give you the answer.
