Crimson Taq DNA Polymerase with (Mg-free) Buffer Protocol


Protocol


  1. Add the following components to a thin-walled PCR tube on ice:
    Component 25 µl reaction 50 µl reaction Final Conc.
    5X Crimson Taq (Mg-free) Reaction Buffer 5 µl 10 µl 1X
    10 mM dNTP 0.5 µl 1 µl 200 µM
    10 µM Forward Primer 0.5 µl 1 µl 0.2 µM (0.05–1 µM)
    10 µM Reverse Primer 0.5 µl 1 µl 0.2 µM (0.05–1 µM)
    25 mM MgCl2 1.5 µl 3 µl 1.5 mM
    Template DNA variable variable <1000 ng
    Crimson Taq DNA Polymerase 0.125 µl 0.25 µl 1.25 units/50 µl PCR
    Nuclease-free water to 25 µl to 50 µl  

    Notes: Gently mix the reaction. Collect all liquid to the bottom of the tube by a quick spin if necessary. Overlay the sample with mineral oil if using a PCR machine without heated lid.
  2. Transfer PCR tubes to a PCR machine with the block preheated to 94-95°C and begin the programmed cycling:
    Initial denaturation: 95°C 30 seconds
    25-45 cycles: 95°C 20 seconds;  50-68°C 15-60 seconds; 68°C 1 minute per kb
    Final extension: 68°C 5 minutes
    Final soak: 4-10°C
