Zero Blunt™ TOPO™ PCR Cloning Kits offers the fastest and easiest method for high-efficiency (cloning of blunt-end PCR products amplified with proofreading thermostable polymerases. The kits include linearized and topoisomerase I-activated pCR™-Blunt II-TOPO™ Vector for 5-minute benchtop ligations without ligase (1). The pCR™-Blunt II-TOPO™ Vector also features:
• ccdB gene for positive selection (2) • EcoR I sites flanking the PCR product insertion site for easy excision of inserts • Kanamycin and Zeocin™ resistance genes for your choice of selection in E. coli • SP6 promoter/primer site for in vitro RNA transcription and sequencing • M13 forward and reverse primer sites for sequencing or PCR screening
Selected Zero Blunt™ TOPO™ PCR Cloning Kits are available in combo kits combined with a PureLink™ Quick Plasmid Miniprep Kit (50 preps) for fast plasmid purification of your TOPO™-cloned inserts for downstream analysis.
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
