Depositor Comments

There is an additional E10D amino acid change in Addgene's quality control sequence, the full plasmid sequence is assembled and may contain slight discrepancies. According to Dr. Verkhusha, this mutation should not change any properties of the TagRFP657 protein.

**NOTE**: Addgene NGS results indicate that the TagRFP657 ORF is duplicated. In order to remove the duplicated ORF and restore the MCS, recipient scientists can cut with BglII, gel purify the large band, and re-ligate the vector. Alternatively, BglII can be used as the 5' restriction site for cloning, with the 3' site being located in the MCS.

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.
