Specifications

Dextran Sulfate (MW > 500,000) is used as an additive in probe hybridization solutions. Its presence accelerates the rate of hybridization by 10 fold. The addition of Dextran Sulfate favors the formation of probe networks, resulting in greater sensitivity during membrane-bound nucleic acid analysis. The product is supplied as a 50% liquid.
Catalog #	D6045
	A 50% dextran sulfate solution in water filtered through a 20um membrane and autoclaved prior to bottling in clean, sterilized bottles containing no preservatives. Liquid solution is dark brown from autoclaving.
RNase, DNase	None Detected
Water	Molecular Biology Grade
Applications	Suitable for use as a hybridization accelerator, specifically when preparing rare sequences by Northern or Southern Blots and the rate of hybridization is very slow.
Storage and Stability	May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C and product should be warmed to at least RT prior to use. Do not freeze. Aliquots are stable for 12 months.
