General description

PCR grade water is sterile-filtered. It is free from exonucleases (DNAse, RNAse) and endonuclease (NICKase) and is also free from nucleic acid contamination.

Application

Water has been used:

  • as a component of the reaction mixture and as a diluting agent in microfluidic RT-qPCR
  • as a component of the reaction mixture for the amplification of products from fungal (Trametes versicolor) DNA
  • as a diluting agent and as a component of the reaction mixture for the amplification of cDNA
  • Water has been used to make up the final volume of the sample in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Suitability

Suitable for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
