DNA ligation kits, quick
DNA Ligation Kit, Version 1 and DNA Ligation Kit, Version 2.1 enable high-efficiency ligation of DNA molecules in vitro. Using an optimized buffer system and T4 DNA Ligase, these DNA ligation kits offer fast ligation in 30 minutes. Ligation reactions can be used directly in selected bacterial transformations with no need for DNA purification.

DNA Ligation Kit, Version 1 and DNA Ligation Kit, Version 2.1 provide the fliexibility of formats, with the DNA Ligation Kit, Version 2.1 containing a convenient premix of enzyme and buffer that further minimizes pipetting steps and permits small final reaction volumes (for standard reactions). By using Solution II of the DNA Ligation Kit, Version 2.1, linker ligation may also be performed. Transformation efficiency can be further improved by the addition of Solution III (Transformation Enhancer) into circular ligation reactions prior to transformation. The DNA Ligation Kit, Version 1.0 can be used for DNA concatenation via the addition of Solution B alone.
