Affordable Alternative to BigDye™ Offers Significant Savings for Labs Using Traditional Sequencing Methods
Stellar Scientific, a specialized supplier of molecular biology reagents and laboratory equipment, has added the Accuris SmartDye™ Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit to its product catalog. This Sanger sequencing reagent provides laboratories with a high-quality, cost-effective alternative to Thermo Fisher's BigDye™ Terminator, with pricing that delivers substantial savings without compromising performance.
While Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has become the dominant technology for large-scale genomic analysis, Sanger sequencing remains essential for specific applications where its strengths are unmatched: high accuracy for individual sequences, long read lengths up to 1,000 base pairs, and reliability for validation work. Researchers and clinical labs continue to rely on Sanger sequencing for gene variant confirmation, mutation detection, quality control of NGS results, and small-scale targeted sequencing projects.
"The SmartDye™ Terminator v3.1 addresses a real need in the market," said Kenneth Golub, CEO of Stellar Scientific. "Many labs still require Sanger sequencing for critical applications, but face budget constraints with traditional reagent costs. By adding this Accuris product to our catalog, we're giving researchers access to proven sequencing chemistry at a more accessible price point."
Key Advantages of SmartDye™ Terminator v3.1:
High-Accuracy Results - Delivers precise sequencing data for gene variant detection in both research and clinical diagnostic settings
Significant Cost Savings - Priced substantially lower than competing Sanger sequencing reagents while maintaining quality standards
Improved Workflow Efficiency - Reduced processing times enable labs to increase throughput and meet project deadlines
Easy Integration - Designed to work seamlessly with existing Sanger sequencing workflows and equipment with minimal protocol adjustments
Proven Applications - Ideal for mutation screening, clone verification, gene synthesis validation, and confirmation of NGS findings
