Expand™ 20 kbPLUS PCR System 11811002001

Enzyme Commission (EC) Number:

2.7.7.7 ( BRENDA | IUBMB )

This PCR system is an improvement of the Barnes Technology and shows good performance for the amplification of fragments longer than 20 kb.
The Expand 20 kbPLUS PCR System is composed of a special enzyme mix containing thermostable Taq DNA polymerase and Tgo DNA polymerase, a thermostable DNA polymerase with proofreading activity. This powerful polymerase mixture and associated buffer system is designed to give a high yield of PCR product when fragments longer than 20 kb need to be amplified.
T/A cloning can be used for fragments produced by this kit.
To obtain long PCR products, first evaluate length and purity of the DNA template. Handling all genomic DNA templates with care. Genomic DNA template should be larger than 50 kb, as determined with agarose gel electrophoresis.
The Expand 20 kbPLUS PCR System contains human control DNA and human control -globin primers which allow the amplification of a 23 kb fragment.
These reagents may serve as a control reaction but can also be used to test the quality of human template DNA s and/or the respective primer pairs.
T/A cloning can be applied.
For a standard 50 µl PCR, we recommend using 5 U of the enzyme blend.
Contents:

• Expand 20 kbPLUS Enzyme Mix
• Expand 20 kbPLUS Reaction Buffer, 10x concentrated with 27.5 mM MgCl2
• MgCl2 Solution, 25 mM
• Human Genomic DNA
• Human -globin Control Primer, forward (HG forward)
• Human -globin Control Primer, reverse (HG reverse)

Use the Expand™ 20 kbPLUS PCR System to amplify genomic DNA fragments up to 35 kb. The Expand 20 kbPLUS PCR System features a specifically optimized buffer and enzyme-blend mixture to amplify extra-long pieces of DNA (over 20 kb). Control primers and DNA produce fragments of 23 kb in length.

• PCR
• RT-PCR
• Large-fragment amplification

Use the Expand 20 kbPLUS PCR System, dNTPack with ready-to-use PCR Nucleotide Mix.
Features and Benefits

• Go the limit.

The buffer and enzyme-blend amplify products over 20 kb DNA.

• Easy PCR monitoring.

Human genomic DNA and human control -globin primers amplify a 23 kb fragment.

• Test template quality.

Control reagents also test template quality and primer pair performance.
