Depositor Comments

This sensor is based on the design of the Matsuda lab (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21976697) but modified to use tdTomato as the FRET donor and tdKatushka as the FRET acceptor. The tdKatushka2 was originally cloned by Michael Davidson's lab (Addgene plasmid #56049).

Purpose

Ready-to-use, high-purity DNA prep. DNA aliquots are suitable for use in mammalian cell transfections and other molecular biology applications.

Delivery

  • Amount 50 μg
  • Concentration 1 μg/μL
  • Pricing $495 USD
  • Storage 4 ℃ (short-term) or -20 ℃ (long-term)

Quality Control

Every DNA prep is verified by next-generation sequencing, confirming plasmid identity, sequence integrity, and absence of DNA contaminants. Concentration is confirmed to be within ±2.5% of the stated concentration.

Our production process has been validated to consistently yield endotoxin levels below 1.0 EU/μg. Individual lots are not tested for endotoxin.
