Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
BSA, bovine serum albumin, is usually used in PCR as a stabilizer. A concentration of 160 µg/mL is typical. Gelatin may also be used as a stabilizer at 0.01% (w/v).
The ionic strength and the pH of GeneAmp 10X PCR Gold Buffer have been carefully optimized for use with the AmpliTaq Gold enzyme. GeneAmp 10X PCR Buffer I contains Mg; Geneamp 10X PCR Buffer II and Geneamp 10X PCR Gold Buffer do not have Mg in them, but come with a separate vial of 25 mM MgCl2 so that you can titrate the Mg in your PCR reaction.
Buffer formulations:
