The success of your PCR reaction depends on the quality of the starting materials. Accuris nucleotides (dNTP sets and mixes) are purified by HPLC in a strict process that results in greater than 99% purity. The stringent purification process eliminates PCR inhibitors such as tetraphosphates and pyrophosphates that can interfere with the sensitivity of your PCR and reduce yields.
Extensive quality control testing is performed to ensure the dNTPs are free of nuclease, protease and nickase activity. Each lot is performance tested in standard PCR, long PCR and qPCR reactions to assess reproducibility and sensitivity.
The 40mM dNTP Mix is a single tube that contains premixed dNTPs at a concentration of 10mM each. The 100mM dNTP Set contains four individual tubes, one each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP. The nucleotides are supplied in ultra-pure water as an ammonium salt. Both the set and mix are stable for 24 months when stored at -20ºC.
