BIO 3'-End Oligonucleotide Labeling Kit with Biotin-11-UTP

SKU: orb532195

Description

BIO 3'-End Oligonucleotide Labeling Kit with Biotin-11-UTP contains all reagents (except oligonucleotide template to be labeled and materials for Biotin detection) required for efficient 3'-End biotinyla-tion of DNA oligonucleotides (length: 20-100 bp, 5 pmol per reaction). The labeling principle is based on Terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT) that template-independently transfers 1-3 Biotin-11-UTPs to the 3'-OH group of ssDNA (e.g. an oligonucleotide) in the presence of CoCl 2. It is similar to the principle of Biotin 3'-End DNA Labeling Kit (Pierce/Thermo Scientific). The resulting 3'-End biotinylated oligonucleotides are ideally suited for applications involving sequence-specific protein binding or hybridiziation such as EMSA, Northern or Southern blots. Compared to internal, random biotinylated probes, Biotin is located at the 3'-End only and less likely interferes with probe binding. TdT possesses a preference for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) over dsDNA with 3'-overhangs or blunt ends. For the preparation of labeled dsDNA complexes, label each complementary oligonucleotide separately and anneal them before use.
