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 BsiWI, > 95%
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 BsiWI.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA
and 25 units of BsiWI 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 BsiWI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded
[3H] E. coli DNA (105 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 55ºC
released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.
Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 20 units of BsiWI with 1 μg of
pUC19 DNA for 4 hours at 55ºC resulted
in < 10% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
