FAQs Sanger Sequencing


Can I send my DNA samples in Tris-EDTA (TE)?

No, please don't.
EDTA binds bivalent cations such as Mg2+ that are essential for the Taq polymerase. Your DNA is stable in double distilled water or Tris-HCl at room temperature for several days or even longer if it is dried down.
