| Application: | Calf thymus DNA is exceptionally useful as a substrate for DNA polymerase assays, in the amplification of very long fragments and as a carrier DNA for precipitations. |
| Application: | Calf thymus DNA is exceptionally useful as a substrate for DNA polymerase assays, in the amplification of very long fragments and as a carrier DNA for precipitations. It was used as a standard for DNA quantification by fluorescent assay. It was used as reference to determine the DNA content in cartilage tissue digest samples. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | 42% GC; Tm = 87 °C. % GC is the percentage of G/C base pairs. Tm is the temperature at the midpoint of the thermal denaturation profile. |
| Features and Benefits: | • No nuclease activity detected after 16 h at 37 °C incubation • High quality template DNA |
| General description: | High quality double-stranded template DNA isolated from the thymus of male and female calves. |
