Product Notes
- The presence of active reducing reagent in the reaction buffer is critical for this enzyme. While the reaction buffer supplied with the enzyme contains DTT, older buffer stocks or stocks that have been repeatedly frozen and thawed should be supplemented with 4 mM DTT to obtain maximal activity.

Tech Tips
- DTT in the reaction buffer can oxidize quickly with >-20°C storage temperatures, extended storage, or multiple freeze/thaws, which can reduce amplification efficiency of phi29 DNA Polymerase. Older buffer stocks or stocks that have been repeatedly frozen and thawed should be supplemented with 4 mM DTT to obtain maximal activity.
