| Test | Specification |
| Functional Assay | Amplification of 500 bp fragment from genomic DNA |
Principle
Source of recombinant enzyme protein
The protein is produced by a recombinant E. coli strain carrying the engineered VeraSeq™ 2.0 gene.
Unit definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to incorporate 10 nmoles of dNTPs into acid-insoluble form at 74°C in 30 minutes.
Procedure
Protocol
General precautions should be taken when setting up a PCR, including setting up the reaction on ice, adding master mix last, gently pipetting, thorough mixing and a quick centrifugation. The following procedure can be used as a guideline. Reactions may need to be optimized individually.
Reaction setup (for 50 µL)
| Component | Volume (µL) | Final concentration |
| Sterile H2O | 20, variable | N/A |
| 2x VeraSeq PCR Mix | 25 | 1x |
| PCR Primer Cocktail | 5 | 0.5 µM each |
| Library DNA* | Variable | N/A |
* Total reaction volumes of library DNA and water should be adjusted to achieve a final reaction lolume of 50 µL. If the reaction volume needs to be >50 µL, the volume of the 2x Master Mix should be adjusted so that it constitutes 50% of the final reaction volume.

* Cycling conditions may need to be optimized, depending on the amplicon of interest.
† Number of cycles is dependent on the amount of input DNA and other specific sequence analysis requirements.
Quality control analysis
Functionality of 2x VeraSeq™ PCR Mix is assessed by its ability to amplify a 500 bp fragment from genomic DNA. Following PCR the 500 bp fragment was visualized by agarose-gel electrophoresis.
Contamination Tests
VeraSeq™ PCR Mix was tested prior to assembly and found to be free of contaminating endonucleases. Enzyme purity was >99% as determined by SDS-PAGE and negligible E. coli genomic DNA contamination was confirmed by qPCR. Specific activity was verified pre and post dilution.
Applications
This product is available for molecular biology applications such as:
- High-fidelity DNA amplification
- Cloning
- Synthetic biology
