5 Vortex the primer validation reaction mix for a minimum of 20 seconds and centrifuge for
30 seconds.
NOTE Table 4 displays the volumes required to prepare 48 reactions with a 25%
overage to evaluate 48 target-specific primer pairs. Scale up appropriately if a higher
number of primer pairs are to be evaluated.
