- Extensive set of restriction sites in polylinker, many with unique 4-base overhangs
- Blue/white section
- Opposing T7promoters for making RNA transcripts in either direction or double-stranded RNA using the HiScribe RNAi Transcription Kit (NEB #E2000S)
Description: LITMUS 28i is a multi-purpose cloning/in vitro transcription phagemid vector. The molecule is a small, double-stranded circle 2,823 base pairs in length (molecular weight =1.8 x 106 daltons).
Source: LITMUS 28i is isolated from E. coli ER2738 by a standard plasmid purification procedure.
Advantages:- Small (< 3 kb), high copy number.
- Ampicillin resistance.
- Single-stranded (M13) DNA replication origin.
- Compatible with pUC/M13 sequencing primers as well as LITMUS sequencing primers.
Concentration: 500 μg/ml
Storage Conditions

 Storage Conditions: 10 mM Tris-HCl 1 mM EDTA
pH 8.0 @ 25°C
Storage Temperature: -20°C
Notes

 General notes:- Appropriate strains of E. coli containing the LITMUS 28i plasmid form blue colonies on X-gal plates; when a fragment is inserted in the polylinker, the colonies are white. Blue/white selection is best achieved by plating on a rich media (e.g. LB) supplemented with X-gal (40 µg/ml) and IPTG (0.1 mM).
FAQs


- How homogeneous is the DNA/ how much is supercoiled?
- Are the plasmids cesium purified?
- What primers should I use to sequence an insert (pUC19, pNEB193, LITMUS)?

 Enzymes in parentheses ( ) leave 3' extension and should not be used for template linearization.
