TruePrime™ WGA kit

　　Whole Genome Amplification Kit for Purified DNA

　　For use with DNA that has already been pre-extracted from cells

　　TruePrime™ consists of a set of reagents for multiple displacement amplification of genomic DNA from purified material, with a minimal level of bias. TruePrime™ WGA Kit uses alkaline incubation to allow DNA denaturation of genomic DNA with very low DNA fragmentation. This results in amplified DNA with high integrity and fragment length, so that most of the sequences are uniformly represented.

　　Features and Benefits:

　　Cell lysis buffer not included – (select TruePrime™ single cell WGA kit if DNA is not purified)

　　Primer-free method – TthPrimPol synthesizes the primers for Phi29 DNA polymerase

　　No primer artefacts – No random extension of primer dimers

　　Insensitive to external DNA contamination

　　Works with all types of genomes

　　Reduced amplification bias in genome coverage – reliable results

　　Ideally suited for Next Generation Sequencing

　　TruePrime™ technology further information

　　TruePrime™ technology uses a revolutionary novel multiple displacement amplification (MDA) method based on the combination of the recently discovered DNA primase ‘TthPrimPol’ and the extremely processive and high-fidelity Phi29 DNA polymerase to amplify uniformly total genomic DNA from purified material. The extraordinary strand displacement capacity of the Phi29 DNA polymerase allows TthPrimPol to generate new primers on the displaced strands that are extended by Phi29 DNA pol, resulting in exponential isothermal DNA amplification.

　　Specifications

　　Supply: The TruePrime™ WGA kit is supplied in a single box, with sufficient reagents for either 25 or 100 amplification reactions. The system consists of seven components, including the enzymes and buffers to perform the amplification reactions. Contents are provided in clear, screw-cap tubes with colour-coded lids as referenced in the TruePrime™ WGA kit handbook.

　　Shipping and Storage: The TruePrime™ WGA kit is shipped in dry ice. Upon receipt, the kit should be stored immediately at -20°C in a non-frost-free (constant temperature) freezer. If stored correctly the product can be kept for at least 24 months after shipping without displaying any reduction in performance. For longer storage periods we recommend a temperature of -80ºC.

　　Technical specifications: The TruePrime™ WGA kit uses a novel and reliable method to achieve accurate genome amplification from purified material. Dedicated buffers and enzymes deliver microgram quantities of DNA. Typical DNA yields from a TruePrime™ WGA kit reaction are above 5 μg per 50 μl reaction when starting from 1 ng of genomic DNA. Yields and kinetics will vary if crude or un-quantified samples are amplified. Reactions without input DNA (no template controls) do not produce any amplification product during 3 hour reaction times. Mean product length is greater than 10 kb. Store amplified DNA at 4ºC for short-term storage or -20ºC for long-term storage.

　　The TruePrime™ WGA kit uses alkaline incubation to allow DNA denaturation of genomic DNA with very low DNA fragmentation, resulting in amplified DNA with high integrity and maximizing the length of the amplification fragments, so that most of the sequences are uniformly represented.

　　Quality Control: Each batch of TruePrime™ WGA kit is tested against predetermined specifications to ensure consistent product quality. Enzymes used in the kit have been tested separately to ensure adherence to specifications.

　　Intended use: The TruePrime™ WGA kit is intended for molecular biology use only and in vitro use only. This product is not intended for diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a disease in humans beings or animals.

　　Patent: Patent protection for TthPrimPol and methods associated with its use is pending.

　　Safety information: Safety data sheets are available for download.
