Application

2′-Deoxycytidine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt is one of the nucleoside triphosphates used for DNA polymerase driven reactions such as polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing and other molecular biology methods.

General description

dCTP, PCR Grade, is a 100 mM clear colorless solution of the sodium salt (pH 8.3). PCR Grade nucleotides from Roche are specially manufactured and purified to the highest possible chemical purity. PCR Grade nucleotides contain at least 99% of the relevant deoxynucleoside-triphosphate (dNTP) and less than 0.9% deoxynucleoside-diphosphate (dNDP).

Other Notes

For general laboratory use.

Physical form

solution of dCTP in water (pH 8.3).

Preparation Note

Working solution: We recommend to prepare a deoxynucleotide mix containing dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP (10 mM, each); (e.g., for the preparation of 100 µl nucleotide mix add 10 µl of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP (each) to 60 µl Water, PCR Grade).

Quality

Function tested in RT-PCR. Tested for absence of contaminating deoxyribonucleases, ribonucleases and nicking activities according to the current Quality Control procedures.
