Features

• Rapid and irreversible heat inactivation eliminates unwanted activity
• Improved storage stability versus native enzyme
• Faster reaction setup (no supplemental additives like zinc required) and shorter incubation time
• Flexible reaction conditions (active in any restriction enzyme buffer, no clean-up required)
• Less enzyme required (high specific activity), resulting in a lower cost per reaction
• No need for multiple phosphatases (Quick CIP removes 5′- and 3′- phosphates from DNA, RNA and dNTPs )
• Active on unincorporated dNTPs in PCR products - improves DNA sequencing and SNP analysis
• Recombinant for purity, consistency and value

Application Features

• Dephosphorylation 5′ and 3′ ends of DNA and RNA.
• Dephosphorylation of cloning vector DNA to prevent recircularization during ligation.
• Dephosphorylation of DNA prior to end-labeling using T4 Polynucleotide Kinase.
• Removal of dNTPs in PCR reactions prior to sequencing or SNP analysis.

1. Quick CIP, as are most alkaline phosphatases, is a Zn₂+ and Mg₂+-dependent enzyme. Our formulation has tightly bound zinc atoms in the active center and does not require supplemental zinc or other additives.
2. Quick CIP is also active in 1X NEBuffers 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 as well as NEBuffers 1, 2, 3 and 4 and NEBuffer for EcoRI.
3. Quick CIP activity is enhanced in the presence of monovalent salts.
4. Quick CIP is inhibited by metal chelators (e.g. EDTA), inorganic phosphate and phosphate analogs.
5. The Quick CIP activity is decreased in the presence of reducing agents (DTT, β-mercaptoethanol).
6. Quick CIP is a homodimer. The molecular weight of the monomer is 56 kDa.

1. Which alkaline phosphatase, Quick CIP, rSAP or Antarctic Phosphatase works best?
2. The number of colonies that do not contain an insert seems high. How can I tell if Quick CIP worked?
3. What phosphate groups are removed by rSAP, Quick CIP, or Antarctic Phosphatase (AnP)?
4. Does the DNA need to be purified after treatment with Quick CIP?
5. What is the effect of metal chelators, inorganic phosphate and phosphate analogs on Quick CIP activity?
6. What is the effect of monovalent salts on Quick CIP activity?
7. What is the effect of reducing agents on Quick CIP activity?
8. Will Quick CIP, rSAP or Antarctic Phosphatase (AnP) dephosphorylate proteins?
9. Can Quick CIP be heat inactivated?
10. Does the DNA need to be purified after a restriction digest and prior to the dephosphorylation step?
11. Are the alkaline phosphatases active in NEBuffers?
12. Cloning Problem: Too much background in the transformation step.
13. Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers?
