Optimal for bacteria identification  Up to 5 kb

DESCRIPTION
BioThermD-™ DNA polymerase is a special purified DNA polymerase without any traces of E. coli DNA. It is optimal for the amplification and sequencing of 16S rRNA genes to identify bacteria.

CONCENTRATION
5 units/µl

UNIT DEFINITION
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that incorporates 10 nmoles of dNTPs into acidinsoluble form in 30 minutes at 72ºC under the assay conditions (25 mM TAPS (tris-(hydroxy-methyl)-methyl-amino-pro-panesulfonic acid, sodium salt) pH 9.3 (at 25ºC); 50 mM KCl; 2 mM MgCl₂; 1 mM ß-mercaptoethanol) and activated calf thymus DNA as substrate.

STORAGE BUFFER
10 mM K-phosphate buffer pH 7.0, 100 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween 20, 50% glycerol (v/v)

STORAGE TEMPERATURE
Store BioThermD-™ DNA polymerase below 0ºC, preferably at -20ºC, in a constant temperature freezer.

10X REACTION BUFFER
160 mM (NH₄)₂SO₄, 670 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.8 (at 25ºC), 15 mM MgCl₂, 0.1% Tween 20
The 10x reaction buffer (on request with or without MgCl₂) is delivered free of charge.
