T&A™ Cloning Kit
Description

Molecular cloning assisted by vectors is the most popular and common method to obtain genes of interest. Gentaur Biotech's T&A™ Cloning Kit offers a quick, reliable and efficient method for cloning a variety of DNA sequences.

The T&A™ Cloning Kit contains the T&A™ Cloning Vector and all the reagents needed for ligation. It is a convenient pack for cloning PCR product generated using thermostable DNA polymerases, such as YEAtaq DNA polymerase, which add a single terminal 3'-dA nucleotide overhang. After ligation, the mixture can be used directly for transformation into competent cells (ECOS™) or be purified first to achieve higher transformation efficiency.

Features

  • Fast ligation, completed in only 5 minutes
  • High transformation efficiency
  • More accurate results
  • Accept a wide range of inserts with different sizes
  • Two types of ligation buffers provided for your convenience
  • Allow blue/white screening
  • Contain ampicillin marker for antibiotic selection
  • Include M13 primer sites for convenient sequencing
  • Vector can be supplied in dried form (# FLC002-20R)

* Before the insert incorporate into the T&A™ Cloning Vector, there is only one Hind III site and no Bgl II site. After the incorporation, the T and A nucleotide on the insert will complement the sequence on the vector and generate these two new sites. This merit of T&A™ Cloning Vector makes cloning more economic and convenient.
