PCR with DreamTaq

In a sterile, nuclease free PCR-tube mix following components:

Component Volume Final concentration
DreamTaq Polymerase 10x Buffer (with MgSO4) 5 µl 1x
dNTP 10mM each 5µl 1000µM each
upstream primer 5-50pmol (from 100pmol/µl e.g. 2,5µl) 0,1- 1 µM
downstream primer 5-50pmol (from 100pmol/µl e.g. 2,5µl) 0,1- 1 µM
DNA Template variable (dependent on DNA conc.) <0,5µg/50µl (e.g. 0,3)
Dream Taq Polymerase 0,5µl ~2u/50µl
DMSO 1,25µl
nuclease free water to final volume of 50 µl

!!! DreamTaq Buffer includes Loading Dye !!!
