Description
GoldBio’s 2’-Deoxynucleoside 5’-triphosphate mix is an aqueous solution containing dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP, each at a final concentration of 10mM. This mixture has been tested for performance in a wide size-range of PCR templates with Taq and Pfu DNA polymerases.
The dNTP solution is ideal for PCR, cDNA synthesis, DNA sequencing and labeling procedures, and it has been performance tested with Q-PCR and long PCR (30 kb).

dNTPs are the building blocks for DNA synthesis composed of a nitrogenous base that is bound to a deoxyribose with a triphosphate. The four dNTPs used in DNA synthesis are abbreviated based on their nitrogenous based: dATP represents adenine, dCTP represents cytosine, dGTP represents guanine, and dTTP represents thymine.
dNTPs stand for deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate, and uses each of the four bases of DNA: dATP for adenine, dCTP for cytosine, dGTP for guanine, and dTTP for thymine.
Most protocols suggest using a final concentration of 200µM for 10mM dNTPs.
| Reaction Volume | dNTP Volume | Final Concentration |
| 25 µl | 0.5 µl | 200 µM |
| 50 µl | 1 µl | 200 µM |
In PCR, dNTPs function as the building blocks for DNA amplification. Here, the four dNTPS (dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP) are added by Taq polymeras to a template strand of DNA at the corresponding base. Another way of looking at it is the role of dNTPs are to function as the necessary nucleotides to build a growing strand of DNA. The addition of dNTPs along a template strand of DNA in PCR build the second, complementary strand of DNA.
Store dNTPs at -20°C. With dNTPs, it is very important to avoid freeze/thaw cycles and frequent temperature changes.
To ensure the stability and efficiency of dNTPs, GoldBio ships dNTPs next day on blue ice.
