Reaction Setup
| REAGENT | VOLUME (µL) | FINAL CONC. |
|---|---|---|
| 10 µM Forward Primer | 2 µL | 0.4 µM |
| 10 µM Reverse Primer | 2 µL | 0.4 µM |
| Template DNA | Y (1ng) | 1 ng |
| LongAmp Taq 2X Master Mix | 25 µL | 1X |
| Nuclease-free Water | 21- Y |
Final Volume = 50µL
Notes:
• LongAmp Taq 2X Master Mix can be used to amplify templates of up to 30kb long.
• LongAmp Taq 2X Master Mix can be stored at -20°C, however, it is only stable for 15 freeze-thaw cycles. For more frequent use, NEB recommends storing it at 4°C.
• Remember to first dilute primers in nuclease-free water if starting with a higher concentration
• Do not exceed 50 µL final volume
Thermocycling Conditions

To find annealing temperature, follow steps on the NEB Tm Calculator, [1] which should yield a temperature 5°C below the Tm of the lower primer
Modifications
• If template is GC rich, a longer initial denaturation of 2-4 minute is recommended
• If annealing temperature is above 60°C, use two-step PCR protocol below
| STEP | TEMPERATURE (°C) | TIME |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Denaturation | 94 | 1 min |
| 30 Cycles denature
