  • dNTPs - this works for the current original stock we have, which is 100mM total dNTP concentration (25mM/dNTP) and found in the -20C
Original dNTP Mix (uL) Autoclaved & Frozen HPLC H2O (uL) Final Volume of Mix (uL) Working Stock Concentration (total dNTPs) Working Stock Concentration (each dNTP)
20 30 50 40mM 10mM
40 60 100 40mM 10mM
60 90 150 40mM 10mM
80 120 200 40mM 10mM



  • Gelstar - this works for the current original stock we have 10,000x found in the -20C (in its own circular white container)
Original 10,000x Gelstar (uL) DMSO (uL) Final Volume of Mix (uL) Working Stock Concentration
5 95 100 500x



  • Oligo Primers - this works for the current original stock we have (water already added), which is 500uM and found in the -20C in the "original stock" box
