Betaine enhancer solution 5M
Supplier: VWR International
Synonyms:
2-(Trimethylammonio)acetate
, Trimethylglycine
, TMG
Betaine enhancer is especially effective when used with high GC-rich regions or templates with a high degree of secondary structures. It has a decreasing effect on the primer melting temperature.
- Enhances amplification on GC-rich and difficult DNA targets
- Lowers the melting temperature
The performance of Betaine Enhancer Solution 5 M is superior compared to standard enhancers such as formamide, DMSO, TMAC, BSA and non-ionic detergents. Betaine Enhancer Solution is an excellent enhancer especially when used with GC-rich regions or templates with a high degree of secondary structures.
Betaine has a decreasing effect on the melting temperature of DNA and primers. Therefore, denaturation temperatures as well as primer annealing temperatures should be reduced by 1 – 5 °C. The optimal annealing temperature should be determined individually for each reaction.
Caution: For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
