'Half BD' big dye diluent

[Justin Hopkins]

Hi,

I haven't tried this but have seen an interesting reference about
dilution. I think they made up their own dilution buffer:

Human Mutation, Volume 15, Issue 2, 2000. Pages: 201-203
"Big DyeTM terminator cycle sequencing chemistry: Accuracy of the
dilution process and application for
 screening mutations in the TCF1 and GCK genes"
 P. Boutin 1 *, C. Wahl 1, C. Samson 1, F. Vasseur 1, F. Laget 2, P.
Froguel 1

or maybe you already read this!

regards,

Justin
