Why are dNTPs important?
dNTPs or deoxynucleotide triphosphates are the “building blocks” for DNA. Purity and stability of dNTPs are two of the essential factors to achieve a successful PCR. The use of a highly purified dNTP preparation is particularly recommended for sensitive techniques such as long-range PCR, RT-PCR,multiplex, mutagenesis experiments and Real-Time applications. The purity of dNTPs is also important when the starting amount of template is minimal.
