What will resuspend oligos?

What will resuspend oligos?

We recommend resuspending oligos in a TE buffer solution, such as IDTE, to maintain a constant pH that supports oligo stability (IDTE is available from IDT at pH 7.5 and pH 8.0). Alternatively, resuspend oligos in nuclease-free, sterile water, pH 7.0 (HPLC-grade is preferable; available from IDT).

How long do oligos last?

When stored at –20°C (frozen), IDT oligos remain stable for two years (24 months), regardless of whether they are stored dry or resuspended in TE buffer or nuclease-free water (Figure 1A). Similarly, at 4°C (refrigerated), there is no significant difference in stability between storage mediums.

How much water do I add to IDT primers?

To determine the amount of water to add to the lyophilized primer simply multiply the number of nmol of primer in the tube by 10. That will be the amount of water to add to make a 100 µM primer stock. For example, if there are 38.2 nmol of primer a 100 µM primer stock is created by adding 382 µl of water.

Where should oligos be stored?

For optimal stability, oligos that are to be stored long term should be stored frozen, at –20°C. If the oligos are going to be resuspended, storage in a TE buffer (10 mM Tris, 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 7.5–8.0; for example, IDTE) is better than using water (non-DEPC treated).

Can primers be Vortexed?

Finally, spin the tubes for few seconds. Mix your sybr green, primers and DNA individually in their tubes. Then take a separate tube and add cDNA, then primers and nuclease free water and lastly sybr green. Immediately centrifuge for 5 sec and run the reaction.

What is the meaning of resuspend?

transitive verb. : to suspend (something) again Dredging would resuspend toxic materials, making them available to fish and wildlife in the bay.—

What do oligos do?

Oligonucleotides, or oligos, are short single strands of synthetic DNA or RNA that serve as the starting point for many molecular biology and synthetic biology applications! From genetic testing to forensic research and next-generation sequencing, an oligo may very well be the starting point.

Can primers be left at room temperature?

DNA is usually considered stable at room temperature for about 2 weeks, 4 °C for about 2 months, -20 °C for about 2 years and -80 °C for >10 years. It is recommended that you store lyophilized primers at fridge or freezer temperatures anyways.

Is it OK to vortex primers?

Don’t vortex too much. But you can vortex gently for 5-10 for proper mixing. It would not break primers.

Does TE buffer inhibit PCR?

No, TE does NOT inhibit PCR ! We always use TE buffer as the last step in DNA extraction, we dissolve it in TE buffer for storage prior to PCR. TE buffer stabilizes DNA and prevent its degradation. Although DNA will be more stable in TE buffer than dH2O.

How long can primers be?

Primer length limitations For ideal amplification, the best primers are 17 to 24 bases long. The shorter the primers, the more efficiently they can anneal to target DNA. Primers that are longer—say 28 to 35 bases—work better when troubleshooting closely related species, for instance.

Is it bad to vortex primers?

How do I resuspend my oligos in Te?

Dissolve the oligo in TE (10 mM Tris pH 8.0, 0.1 mM EDTA). Use the IDT Resuspension Calulator under the “SciTools ® ” tab of the IDT website for help determining volume. Alternatively, sterile dH 2 O can be used.

Are there minimum yields for custom oligos?

* Minimum yields guaranteed – when ordering custom oligos, remember that the scale of synthesis (25 nmol, 50 nmol, 200 nmol, 1 µmol, or 10 µmol) is the starting point for synthesis, not the guaranteed final amount. Oligonecleotide length, sequence, GC content, and coupling efficiencies can vary the yield of nmole amounts post-synthesis.

Is it bad to resuspend oligonucleotides in water?

Note: For long-term storage, avoid resuspending oligos in DEPC-treated water or water from deionizing systems. These are often acidic (pH as low as 5) and may cause DNA degradation over time. Find the oligo yield information (in nmol) on the tube label or specification sheet.

Can a DNA oligonucleotide be resuspended before shipment?

IDT oligonucleotides (both DNA and RNA) are typically shipped dry. However, you can request to have your DNA oligos resuspended prior to shipment. To obtain resuspended oligos, use the Normalization dropdown menu (see Figure 1) on the Oligo Entry ordering tool.
