Description: Deoxynucleotide Solution Mix is an equimolar solution of ultrapure dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP.
Reagents Supplied: 10 mM Deoxynucleotide Solution Mix 5 x 0.8 ml (large); 4 x 0.2 ml (small) Example of Use: For a reaction which calls for 200 µM of each dNTP, add 2 µl of this premixed nucleotide solution per 100 µl reaction.
Diluent Compatibility: Can be diluted using sterile distilled water, preferably Milli-Q™ water or can be diluted using sterile TE (10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA (pH 7.5).
Reaction & Storage Conditions
Concentration: 10 mM each nt
Storage Conditions: 10 mM Milli-Q water
pH 7.5 @ 25°C
Storage Temperature: -20°C
Notes General notes:
Storing nucleotide triphosphates in solutions containing magnesium promotes triphosphate degradation.
Quality Control for Current Lot Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.
Quality Assurance Statement: The purity of each deoxynucleotide is ≥ 99% as determined by HPLC analysis.
0.5 kb, 2 kb and 5 kb Lambda PCR Assay: 25 cycles of PCR amplification of 1 ng Lambda DNA with 5 units of Taq DNA Polymerase in the presence of 200 µM Deoxynucleotide Solution Mix, 0.5 µM primers and 1X ThermoPol Buffer results in the amplification of the specific 0.5 kb, 2 kb and 5 kb products as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Phosphatase Activity Assay (pNPP Colorimetric Assay): A protein phosphatase buffer solution containing 2 mM Deoxynucleotide Solution Mix and 100 µM p-nitrophenol phosphate, incubated for 4 hours at 37°C, yields no detectable phosphatase activity as determined by spectrophotometric analysis of released p-nitrophenylene anion at 405 nm.
Non-specific Nuclease Assay: A 50 µl reaction in 1X NEBuffer 2 containing 1 µg of T3 DNA or HindIII digested Lambda DNA and a minimum of 10 µl of Deoxynucleotide Solution Mix incubated for 16 hours at 37°C results in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
