Ammonium Buffer is recommended for most PCR applications. It results in high yield of PCR products and minimises the need for optimisation of Mg2+ concentrations or the annealing temperatures.
FEATURES
Promotes amplification on most DNA templates
High yield
High specificity
Tolerance for primer annealing temperature
10x Buffer
AVAILABLE IN 4 FORMULATIONS:
15 mM MgCl2,
Mg2+ free
Tween free
Mg2+ + Tween free
DESCRIPTION
Ammonium Buffer promotes high specificity over a broad range of annealing temperatures and Mg2+ concentrations. Ammonium Buffer also works well when dealing with difficult templates, e.g. GC-rich DNA sequences.
TIP - CHOOSE THE RIGHT BUFFER
Mg2+ free buffer is recommended if you need to optimise Mg2+ concentrations in your PCR set-up, especially if your application requires Mg2+ concentration lower than 1.5 mM.
Detergent free buffers are recommended for automation and downstream applications involving fluorescent spectrometry.
