Description:
Random Hexamer Primer is a mixture of single-stranded random
hexonucleotides with 5' and 3' – hydroxyl ends. Random Hexamer
Primers are used for priming single-stranded DNA or RNA by DNA
polymerases or reverse transcriptases.
Primer sequence:
5'- d (NNNNNN) – 3'
N=G, A, T, C
Concentration:
500 ng/μl, 250 μM, 025 nmol/μl.
Application:
• cDNA synthesis using reverse transcriptase with RNA template*;
• in situ hybridization, Southern, Nothern probe synthesis (1);
• DNA synthesis using Klenow fragment with DNA template;
• radiolabeling of DNA probe (2).
*Note: for reverse transcription use 100-300 ng per 20 μl reaction.
Quality Control:
Assayed for nucleases and non specific RNA and DNA contamination.
