Takara's DNA Ligation Kit, Mighty Mix, is a one-solution premix ligation reagent that offers high efficiency ligations, particularly for blunt-ended ligation. The reaction can be performed for 5 minutes at 25°C (rapid protocol), or 30 minutes at 16°C (standard protocol) with equal results for both circular and linear DNA ligations. The 2X Ligation Mix allows small ligation reaction volumes (10 μl) when DNA is limiting. The kit includes sufficient reagent for 100 ligation reactions. Ligation products reaction can be used directly in bacterial transformation.
Overview
Enables high-efficiency ligations for cohesive, blunt-end, and TA cloning
2X ligation mix adds convenience and eliminates extra pipetting and purification steps
Ligation reactions can be quickly performed at either 5 or 30 minutes depending on DNA type
Blunt-end ligation efficiency with Takara-brand DNA Ligation Kit, Mighty Mix and similar kits from three competitors
Blunt-end ligation efficiency with Takara-brand DNA Ligation Kit, Mighty Mix and similar kits from three competitors. Each ligation reaction contained 25 fmol of BAP-treated pUC118-Hinc II vector and 75 fmol of a 500 bp insert. Ligation efficiency was assessed by blue/white colony screening.
TA-vector ligation efficiency of Takara-brand DNA Ligation Kit, Mighty Mix and similar kits from three competitors
TA-vector ligation efficiency of Takara-brand DNA Ligation Kit, Mighty Mix and similar kits from three competitors. Each ligation reaction contained 13 fmol of a pT7 Blue T-Vector and 39 fmol of a 2.08 kb PCR Product. Ligation efficiency was assessed by blue/white colony screening.
