LightMix® Kits

Ready-to-use PCR kits

LightMix® Kits are ready-to-use PCR kits for the detection of pathogens and selected genetic variants using real-time PCR. Available in singleplex and multiplex assay formats, they cover a range of targets for molecular testing.

Developed by TIB MOLBIOL in Berlin and distributed globally, the test kits are optimized for use with Roche LightCycler® instruments. Each kit includes a positive control.




LightMix® Kits (CE-IVD) for in-vitro diagnostics



  • Designed for routine molecular diagnostics, LightMix® Kits (CE-IVD) provide ready-to-use real-time PCR assays for clinically relevant targets, with straightforward setup and integration into established laboratory workflows.
  • Depending on the assay, the kits detect specific pathogen targets or genetic variants by targeting different genes or defined regions within a single gene.
  • LightMix® Kits (CE-IVD) cover key areas of molecular diagnostics, including infectious diseases, human genetics, and oncology. Applications in human genetics include the analysis of inherited genetic disorders and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

    CE-IVD: European Certificate for In Vitro Diagnostic Use. Assay menu may vary based on availability in your country.

LightMix® Kits (RUO) for research use


  • For research applications, the LightMix® product line also includes RUO kits for the detection of pathogens and specific genetic variations. These kits are intended for research use only and are not for in-vitro diagnostic use.

    Research Use Only. Not for diagnostic use. Assay menu may vary based on availability in your country.
