Safety warnings
Please refer to Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for health and environmental hazards.
Before start
Primers should be designed with 5´ ends annealing back-to-back. We recommend using the NEB online design software, NEBaseChanger™.
Exponential Amplification (PCR)
Exponential Amplification (PCR)
Assemble the following reagents in a thin-walled PCR tube.
