The small discrepancy between the Addgene and depositor's sequence should not alter the function of the plasmid.

DNA (Catalog # 36324-D50)

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)
