SP6 RNA Polymerase
Glycerol-based.

A highly processive enzyme that shows specificity for its double-stranded promoter sequence (5′ ATTTAGGTGACACTATAG 3′) and catalyzes the 5′→3′ synthesis of RNA. Purified using our ArtPure™ proprietary purification process, yielding a >99% pure, animal origin-free product free of contaminating proteinases, RNases and DNases — with no added enzyme inhibitors.

Product Information

Storage & handling.

Optimal storage conditions ensure prolonged enzyme function.

Storage upon receipt

Our SP6 RNA Polymerase is stable at −20°C for up to 12 months in the glycerol-based supplied buffer. For extended storage, we recommend aliquoting in smaller volumes, freezing at −80°C and avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Storage buffer

50 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 50% glycerol, 0.1% Triton X-100, pH 7.9.
