MasterAmp- Extra-Long PCR Kit
- High-fidelity PCR amplification of sequences up to ~40 kb.
The MasterAmp™ Extra-Long PCR Kit is a complete system for successful
and accurate one-step amplification of DNA sequences up to ~40 kb. The kit also
contains nine MasterAmp Extra-Long PCR 2X PreMixes with dNTPs, buffer, and varying
amounts of MgCl2and the MasterAmp PCR Enhancer with betaine.* Perform
Step 1 (Fig. 1) with each new template and primer set. One PreMix will amplify
the long template and give consistent results in all subsequent amplifications
(Step 2, Fig. 1).
Benefits
- Fast optimization; Extra-Long PCR 2X PreMixes with MasterAmp PCR Enhancer, as well as a robust and high-fidelity DNA polymerase mix, allow optimized extra-long PCR (Fig. 2).
STEP 1. Find the optimal MasterAmp™ Extra-Long PCR PreMix.Perform PCR with your template, primers, and the nine PreMixes. | STEP 2. Use the same MasterAmp™ Extra-Long PCR PreMix to obtain reliable, consistent PCR of the same sequence. |

Figure 2. Extra-long amplification of lambda DNA using the MasterAmp™ Extra-Long PCR Kit. PCR conditions were optimized and MasterAmp Premix 4 was selected for PCR of 1 ng of lambda DNA in each sample. Results were analyzed on a 0.5% agarose gel. Amplicon sizes were 30 kb (lane 1), 35 kb (lane 2) and 40 kb (lane 3). Lane M, 5-Kb DNA ladder.
