Most Bandit Biosystems panels can be ordered in more than one way. This note explains the options so you can match the order to how your lab works.
Complete kit
A complete kit pairs the panel (primer and probe mix with positive controls) with its matched amplification master mix at a bundled price. It is the simplest choice for a first order or when you don't already stock the master mix. Where a complete kit is offered, the product page shows its price and the savings compared with buying the parts separately.
À la carte
- Panel only. For labs that already have the matched master mix on hand, or buy master mix in larger volumes.
- Master mix only. For restocking reagents, or for labs that run several panels on the same master mix.
Listed à la carte prices are on each product page and in the price list.
Ready-2-Test
Ready-2-Test is a pre-mixed format. Each tube already contains the master mix, primers, probes and buffers, so you add extracted sample and run. It cuts setup steps and pipetting, which helps labs with high throughput or limited bench time. Ready-2-Test is available for selected panels. Ask for it when you request a quote.
Which one to choose
- First order or evaluation: complete kit.
- Routine use with master mix already stocked: panel only, with master mix ordered as needed.
- Fewest setup steps: Ready-2-Test, where available.
- Volume or multi-lot supply: request a quote for volume pricing.
