Nucleic Acids Prepared from ATCC Genuine Cultures®
ATCC offers genomic DNA and RNA from well-characterized and authenticated microbial strains; click on a product group below to view and print a list of available strains.
Viral nucleic acids in the form of RNA and DNA from infected cells or allantoic fluid are also available.
Microbial Strains
Nucleic acids from ATCC Genuine Cultures can save you the time and expense of isolating DNA yourself. Applications include:
- Construction of genomic libraries
- Southern hybridization
- PCR
- Identification and comparison at the genus, species and strain levels
High-quality nucleic acids from ATCC have been isolated under aseptic conditions to prevent cross-contamination. Batches are evaluated for integrity, purity and quality by several methods, including:
- Agarose gel electrophoresis
- Spectrophotometry
- Suitability for amplification by PCR
- Sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (first ~500 base pairs) consistent with the sequence of the source organism for bacteria
- ITS sequencing for fungi and yeast consistent with the sequence of the source organism
We've expanded our quality control testing for the 5-µg size to include the determination of the total amount of DNA by PicoGreen® measurement. Genomic DNA available in the 5-µg size has been tested using the additional PicoGreen® measurement.
We have a NEW 2009 poster that lists ATCC strains that have been fully-sequenced. Contact us by e-mail for a free copy.
