Accessory kits for cloning
CloneDirect™ Rapid Ligation Kit
The CloneDirect Rapid Ligation Kit is a simple, rapid, highly efficient alternative to standard ligation and transformation protocols. This kit eliminates the requirement for a post-ligation cleanup step before electroporation. A 15-minute heat denaturation at 70°C is all that is needed prior to cell transformation.
Kit content
- 10X CloneDirect Buffer (contains ATP)
- CloneSmart® DNA Ligase
- Complete protocols.
DNATerminator® End Repair Kit
Double-stranded DNA fragments for library construction or large-scale sequencing are often generated by mechanically shearing larger (genomic) DNA, a process that primarily leaves uneven ends. Large DNA may also be cut with restriction enzymes to generate smaller fragments for subcloning. Sheared or restricted DNA fragments must be “end-repaired” before ligation into blunt-end cloning vectors.
The DNATerminator End Repair Kit creates blunt, 5' phosphorylated ends on any type of sheared or restriction-digested DNA fragment, ensuring the highest possible cloning efficiency.
Kit content
- DNATerminator End Repair Enzyme Mix
- End Repair Buffer
- Complete protocol.
PCRTerminator® End Repair Kit
PCR products generated with non-proofreading polymerases such as Taq, Tth, or Tfl primarily have single 3´ G- or 3´ A-overhangs. These products can be treated with the PCRTerminator Kit for cloning into blunt vectors.
The PCRTerminator Kit also adds 5´ phosphates to amplification products, which is essential for cloning PCR products from non-proofreading or proofreading polymerases (such as Pfu or Vent®) into dephosphorylated vectors.
Kit content
- PCRTerminator End Repair Enzyme Mix
- End Repair Buffer
- Complete protocol.
UltraClone™ DNA Ligation and Transformation Kits
Lucigen's UltraClone™ DNA Ligation & Transformation Kits maximize the number of recombinant colonies using any cloning vector. The UltraClone procedure is fast and easy, and gives a dramatic increase in the number of recombinants.
Kit content
