Applied Biosystems™ AmpErase™ Uracil N-Glycosylase (UNG)

Applied Biosystems™ AmpErase™ Uracil N-Glycosylase (UNG)

AmpErase® Uracil N-Glycosylase (UNG), part of the GeneAmp® PCR Carry-over Prevention Kit, is a 26 kDa ultrapure, recombinant enzyme encoded by the E. coli uracil N-glycosylase gene, which has been inserted into an E. coli host to direct the expression of the wild type form of the enzyme. The enzyme removes any uracil incorporated into single- or double-stranded DNA.

Features

• Enzymatic method stops PCR carryover contamination, which prevents false positive results
• Designed to degrade PCR products from previous PCR amplifications without degrading native nucleic acid templates, which improves amplification
• No interference with any PCR or real-time PCR application
• Optimized for use with GeneAmp® PCR core reagents and GeneAmp® instrument systems

Contents

• Contains AmpErase™ Uracil N-glycosylase (UNG) (100 units). Sufficient for 100 PCR amplifications, 100 µl each. Store at -20°C.
