Rovalab in Italy

CABRU distributes Rovalab in Italy, a German manufacturer based in Teltow specialising in qPCR and PCR master mixes, DNA polymerases and nucleotides. The CABRU catalogue lists 55 Rovalab references, all dedicated to nucleic acid amplification.

About Rovalab

ROVALAB GmbH is based in Teltow, Germany, and develops and manufactures master mixes for qPCR, standard PCR, Hot Start and High Fidelity, along with the raw materials that go into them: DNA polymerases and nucleotides. The catalogue is deliberately narrow — a single workflow step, covered in all its variants — and the manufacturer names academic, clinical and industrial research as its audiences.

What Rovalab makes

  • qPCR master mixes — intercalating dye versions and probe versions, with ROX or fluorescein supplied in a separate vial. → Nucleic acids
  • Standard and Hot Start PCR master mixes — 16 master mix references in the catalogue, 11 of them Hot Start.
  • DNA polymerases — Taq, Hot Start, Pfu and High Fidelity enzyme mixes for long amplicons: 19 references.
  • Nucleotides — single dNTPs, mixes and sets, including dUTP-containing blends: 18 references.

The detail of the fluorescein and the ROX

In Rovalab qPCR master mixes the passive reference dye is not premixed but supplied in a separate vial. That detail decides compatibility: different instruments call for high or low ROX, or for fluorescein, and a mix premixed with the wrong dye is unusable. With the separate vial the same mix serves several platforms, and the choice is made in the laboratory.

Application areas

Routine and real-time PCR, genotyping, target sequence detection, long fragment amplification with High Fidelity enzyme mixes, and hot-start amplification to reduce non-specific products. The manufacturer names academic, clinical and industrial research as its fields of use. → Electrophoresis and western blot

Try before switching

Changing the mix in an established PCR is not a risk anyone takes on trust. Rovalab states on its own site that trial samples are available, and CABRU can forward the request to the manufacturer with the instrument, the chemistry in use and the target: the comparison is then run on your own protocol rather than on a datasheet figure.

Frequently asked questions

Who distributes Rovalab in Italy?

CABRU distributes Rovalab in Italy and handles technical enquiries, quotes and orders as the local point of contact.

Does Rovalab supply polymerases and nucleotides separately from the master mixes?

Yes: the CABRU catalogue lists 19 DNA polymerase references and 18 nucleotide references, alongside 16 master mixes.

Do the qPCR master mixes already contain ROX?

No: the passive reference dye, ROX or fluorescein, is supplied in a separate vial, so the same mix can be adapted to instruments with different requirements.

Are Hot Start and High Fidelity mixes available?

Yes: 11 catalogue references are Hot Start versions, and High Fidelity enzyme mixes for long fragment amplification are also listed.

Is it possible to trial a reagent before purchase?

Rovalab states on its own site that trial samples are available. The request should be sent to CABRU with the instrument, the chemistry in use and the target; CABRU forwards it to the manufacturer.

Is CABRU the exclusive distributor of Rovalab?

No. CABRU distributes Rovalab in Italy on a non-exclusive basis.
