10 mM Dithiothreitol
2 mM spermidine pH 7.9 @ 25°C
Quality Control for Current Lot
16-Hour Incubation: A 50 µl reaction containing this reaction buffer at a 1X concentration and 1 µg of HaeIII digested ΦX174 RF I DNA incubated for 16 hours resulted in no detectable non-specific nuclease degradation.
Endonuclease Activity: Incubation of this reaction buffer at a 1X concentration with 1 µg ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37°C in 50 µl reactions resulted in less than 5% conversion to RF II.
