Concentration: 5 units/µl. One unit catalyzes the incorporation of 10 nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 70°C in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 200 µM dGTP, dATP, dTTP dCTP (a mix of unlabeled and [33P] dCTP), 10 µg of activated calf thymus DNA, and 0.1 mg/ml BSA.
Storage Buffer: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 100 mM KCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, and 50% glycerol.
10X Reaction Buffer:100mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), 500 mM KCl, 1% Triton X-100, and with or without 15mM MgCl2.
PCR Activity: EconoTaq DNA Polymerase is tested in DNA amplification using a variety of templates and primers.
Activity Determination: One unit of EconoTaq DNA Polymerase catalyzes the incorporation of 10 nmoles of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 70°C in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 200 µM dGTP, dATP, dTTP, dCTP (a mix of unlabeled and [33P]dCTP), 10 µg Activated Calf Thymus DNA, and 0.1 mg/ml BSA.
