| Storage Condition | Stable at -20°C for one year. Note: The enzyme can be stable at room temperature or even 37°C for seven days without any loss of activity. |
| Concentration | 5 U/µl in 20 mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% Triton X-100 and 50% glycerol. |
| Recombinant (Yes/No) | Yes |
| Product Source | E. coli cells |
| Definition of Activity Unit | One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that can incorporate 10 nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 74°C. |
| 10 X Reaction Buffer (with Mg2+) |
500 mM KCl, 100 mM Tris HCl (pH9.0 at 25°C), 15 mM MgCl2, 1%
Triton X-100 Buffer. This buffer is optimized for use with 200 µM dNTPs. Note: If the reaction is performed without this buffer, then add 0.1% Triton X-100 (final concentration) to ensure high activity. |
| Hazardous | No |
| 5' - 3' Exonuclease | Yes |
| 3' - 5' Exonuclease | No |
| RNases contamination | No |
| Error Rate | NA |
