Features and Benefits

Efficient and rapid precipitation of BigDye^® cycle sequencing products Efficient removal of dye terminators Direct visualization and tracking of precipitated material No effect on sequencing reaction Substitute for original Pellet Paint™ Co-Precipitant for fluorescent detection applications

General description

Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitant is a nonfluorescent dye-labeled carrier compatible with fluorescent sequencing. It facilitates rapid removal of BigDye Terminators during the alcohol precipitation of cycle sequencingreaction products. Cycle sequencing reactions can be precipitated rapidly with 1 µl of carrierper reaction and centrifugation times of 10minutes. The easily visualized carrier providesa simple confirmation that precipitation has occurred. Sequencing reaction products are efficiently pelleted and dye-labeled terminators remain in the supernatant during alcohol precipitation using the standard Applied Biosystems precipitation protocols. Resuspension of pelleted sequencing reaction products in deionized formamide can beconfirmed by checking for dissolution of the carrier. Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitantis fully compatible with the ABI PRISM^®BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction. To avoid extra sample handling, Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitant can be added directly to the reaction mix, template DNA, crude PCR samples, or dilution buffer before the cycle sequencing reaction. Although PelletPaint NF absorbs in the UV range, accurate spectrophotometric measurements of DNA or RNA samples are possible; the absorbance ratio (provided with each package of Pellet PaintNF) can be used as a correction factor when determining nucleic acid concentration. PelletPaint NF Co-Precipitant has no detectable effect on the sequencing reaction or sequence accuracy. Pellet Paint NF Co-Precipitant is a useful substitute for the original Pellet Paint Co-Precipitant in applications where fluorescent detection is used.
