The AccuPower DNA Ligation PreMix is a lyophilized master mix containing T4 DNA Ligase, ATP, reaction buffer, and patented stabilizer. This DNA ligation premix is conveniently aliquoted in strip-tubes for reactions; you need only add DNAs to be ligated and water. The reaction will work for DNA ligation for all applications: blunt cloning, sticky end cloning and TA cloning. The premix is stable up to four months at room temperature and for three years at -20°C.
Features and Benefits
Ready to use premix: | Minimal set up time and handling required |
Fast: | Only 5 minutes for cohesive-end ligation and 10 minutes for blunt-end ligation at room temperature |
Stable: | Enzyme activity for up to four months at room temperature and for three years in the freezer |
Application
Cloning into vectors, library construction, TA cloning, linker ligation, and re-circlization of linear DNA
