Description:
HighFidelity Biotin16 PCR Labeling Kit is designed to produce randomly Biotin16-modified DNA probes by PCR. Such probes are ideally suited for in situ hybridization and Northern Blot experiments. PCR-based labeling is superior to random-primed labeling by Klenow fragment if template amounts are limited or amplification of a specific DNA fragments is required.
Biotin-16-dUTP is efficiently incorporated into DNA as substitute for its natural counterpart dTTP using an optimized reaction buffer and a High Fidelity Polymerase. 50 % Biotin-16-dUTP substitution typically results in an optimal balance between reaction and labeling efficiency. Individual optimization of Biotin-16-dUTP/dTTP ratio however, can easily be achieved with the single nucleotide format. The resulting Biotin16-modified DNA probe can subsequently be detected by HRP- or AP-modified Streptavidin.
The kit contains sufficient reagents for 175 labeling reactions of 20 μl each (50 % Biotin16-dUTP substitution, 100 μM dATP/dGTP/dCTP, 50 μM dTTP, 50 μM Biotin16-dUTP).

DNA purification tools (optional)
1. Preparation of working solutions
1.1 Preparation of 1 mM dATP/dCTP/dGTP working solution
1.2 Preparation of 1 mM dTTP working solution
3. Standard PCR Labeling protocol
The standard protocol is set-up for labeling of a 500 bp DNA fragment. An optimal balance between reaction and labeling efficiency is typically achieved with 50% Biotin-16-dUTP substitution following the standard protocol below however, individual optimization might improve results for individual applications.

Recommended cycling conditions
Cycle step | Temperature | Time | Cycles |
Initial denaturation | 95°C | 2 min | 1x |
Denaturation Annealing1) Elongation2) | 95°C 58°C 68°C | 20 sec 30 sec 60 sec | 30x |
Final Elongation | 68°C | 2 min | 1x |
For optimal amplification results and high incorporation rates an individual optimization of the recommended PCR assay and cycling conditions may be necessary for each new primer-template pair.
4. Probe purification:
Probe purification is not required for most hybridization experiments. If a downstream application requires purification (e.g. concentration determination by absorbance measurement) we recommend silica-membrane or gel filtration-based purification.
