Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

Ligation and Re-cutting:
After a 10-fold overdigestion with SmlI, approximately 75% of the DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA Ligase (at a 5' termini concentration of 1-2 μM) at 16ºC. Of these ligated fragments, approximately 25% can be recut with SmlI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of λDNA and 10 units of SmlI incubated for 16 hours at 55ºC resulted in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Exonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 20 units of SmlI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 55ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.
