Applications
Key Applications
  • Hybridization
Application NotesDilute formamide according to specific application requirements. Formamide concentrations of 45-50% are typically used in Southern and Northern analyses and a 50% or greater concentration for in situ hybridization techniques. In DNA to DNA hybridization, each 1% increase in formamide concentration lowers the Tm by 0.7%.

Product Usage Statements
Quality AssuranceEach lot of material is pre-filtered through a mixed-ion exchange resin to eliminate products of decomposition and residual metal cations. This filtering process guarantees that each lot has a final purity of greater than 99.5% and an adsorbance value of less than 0.02 adsorbance units at 280nm. Each lot then undergoes rigid quality control testing to insure that assay specifications are met prior to release.
