Company:

New England Biolabs

Product Name:

Q5® High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase

Catalog Number:

M0493L

I used this polymerase while performing PCR to subclone a gene fragment into a viral vector so I could transduce primary epithelial cells. Upon sequencing, this polymerase gave a PCR product of the correct size and sequencing showed no errors.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

PCR

Starting Material

Plasmid DNA

Protocol Overview

Added approx. 1ng plasmid DNA to PCR master mix containing Q5 polymerase and ran for 25 cycles.

Tips

Follow the manufacturer's protocol

Results Summary

The PCR reaction gave a band of the expected size (2631 bp) on an agarose gel, and subsequent sequencing of the purified PCR product showed no errors in the sequence.
