FAQ: Can I use the phi29-XT DNA Polymerase RCA Kit (NEB #︎E1603) to generate dbDNA?

Yes, RCA products generated using the phi29-XT DNA Polymerase Kit (NEB #E1603) can be used to generate dbDNA. However, the EnClose Cell-free dbDNA Synthesis Kit (NEB #E9301) contains optimized enzymes and reaction conditions for the entire workflow. For best performance, we recommend using the RCA components provided in the EnClose kit rather than the phi29-XT Polymerase RCA Kit.
