General description

High quality single-stranded template DNA isolated from the thymus of male and female calves.

Application

Calf thymus DNA is exceptionally useful as a substrate for DNA polymerase assays, in the amplification of very long fragments and as a carrier DNA for precipitations. It was used as a standard for DNA quantification by fluorescent assay and in DNA-binding assay.
