Depositor Comments

Improved (i)LifeAct-NeonGreen is prepared by mutating the start codon of the fluorophore ATGxCTG leaving a unique Kosak sequence-enhanced ATG start codon preceding the LifeAct. We have experimentally detected in previous LifeAct versions that polymerase tend to skip LifeAct translation and start translation at the fluorophore instead, increasing fluorophore-derived background.

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.
