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 AleI, 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, > 95% can be recut with AleI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 120 units of AleI incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC 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 50 units of AleI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 60 units of AleI with 1 μg of pBR322 DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 10% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
