NICK TRANSLATION MIX

For generation of highly sensitive probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
The Nick Translation Mix is designed for direct fluorophore-labeling of in situ probes. Fluorescein-12-dUTP and Tetramethyl-Rhodamine-5-dUTP from Roche Applied Science or other commercially available fluorophor-labeled nucleotides can be combined with the Nick Translation Mix. Direct fluorophore-labeled in situ probes are used for the detection of multi copy or very large hybridization targets on metaphase chromsomes or interphase nuclei.
For a standard labeling reaction using 1 μg template in 20 μl total reaction volume, 4 μl of 5x concentrated fluorophore labeling mix are required.
