  • Isolated from a recombinant source
  • Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
  • Robust amplification and product yield
Description:
9°N™m DNA Polymerase is a thermophilic DNA polymerase that has been genetically engineered to have a decreased 3'→ 5' proofreading exonuclease activity (1-5% of the wildtype). 9°Nm DNA Polymerase features a half-life of 6.7 hours at 95°C.

Source:
An E. coli strain that carries the 9°N (E143D) DNA Polymerase gene, (2) a genetically engineered form of the native DNA polymerase from the extremely thermophilic marine archaea Thermococcus species 9°N-7. The archaea was isolated from a submarine thermal vent, at a depth of 2,500 meters, 9° north of the equator at the East Pacific Rise (1).

Applications:
  • Primer extension
  • SNP analysis
Reagents Supplied:
ThermoPol Reaction Buffer Pack (10X)

Notes


General notes:
  1. Diluent buffer (NEB #B8005S) is available for making dilutions of 9°Nm DNA Polymerase.
  2. Additional buffer packs for this product are also available (NEB #B9004S). Each buffer pack contains 4 vials of 10X ThermoPol Reaction Buffer (1.5 ml each) and 1 vial of 100 mM MgS04.
Usage notes:
  1. It is suggested that the number of units be optimized with each primer:template.
  2. MgS04 is usually optimal at 2 mM, although occasionally a 1 mM level is better. For such reactions, we offer an ThermoPol II (Mg-free) Reaction Buffer Pack (NEB #B9005S) to which 1 mM MgS04 can be added.

FAQs


  1. I can't get 9°NmDNA Polymerase to work, yet Taq DNA Polymerase works fine.
  2. Are the DNA fragments produced by 9°Nm DNA Polymerase blunt-ended or do they have the single-base 3' overhang that Taq DNA Polymerase yields?
  3. Can I use 9°NmDNA Polymerase to polish the ends of DNA fragments?
  4. Can 9°NmDNA Polymerase be used in other buffers?

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:
Purified free of contaminating endonucleases and exonucleases.

Endonuclease Assay:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction in ThemoPol Reaction Buffer supplemented with 400 μM each dNTP containing a minimum of 20 units of 9° North modified DNA Polymerase with 1 μg of supercoiled ΦX174 DNA for 4 hours at either 37°C or 75°C results in < 10% conversion to the nicked form as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
