| Application: | Calf thymus DNA is exceptionally useful as a substrate for DNA polymerase assays, in the amplification of very long fragments and as a carrier DNA for precipitations. It was used as a standard to determine DNA content in gels and for DNA quantification by fluorescent assay. |
| Features and Benefits: | • No nuclease activity detected after 16 h at 37 °C incubation • High quality template DNA |
| General description: | High quality double-stranded template DNA isolated from the thymus of male and female calves. |
| Packaging: | 1, 5 mg in glass bottle |
| Preparation Note: | Dissolve the DNA gently rocking overnight to a final concentration of 1mg/ml in molecular biology grade water. |
| Preparation Note: | One mg DNA is approx. 20 A260 units. |
| Preparation Note: | Prepared from highly polymerized calf thymus DNA and nicked with DNase using the method of Aposhian and Kornberg. |
