Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (Cod UNG) from Atlantic Cod is the only commercially available UNG enzyme that is completely and irreversibly inactivated by moderate heat treatment. The enzyme is produced in a recombinant E. coli (ung-) strain that contains a modified Cod UNG gene.
Ideal for contamination control in
There are several commercially available Uracil-DNA glycosylases on the market today. Most of them are of bacterial origin and work well if you have no intention to further analyze the PCR products post-PCR. However, if you want to store your PCR products for downstream analysis such as cloning and sequencing, the reactivation of UNG and subsequent degradation of your PCR products are a problem with most of the commercially available UNGs. Cod UNG from ArcticZymes is completely and irreversibly inactivated by heat thus ensuring that sample integrity is maintained long-term regardless of storage conditions.
This is illustrated in figure 1, below
Cod UNG works in all commercially available master mixes.
Be sure that you have used dUTP containing dNTP mixes in your previous PCR experiments.
Cod UNG is ideal for contamination control in RT-LAMP.
One unit of Cod UNG per 30 μl reaction is sufficient for removing even high concentrations of carry-over contamination.

Norovirus is a single-stranded, non-enveloped RNA virus belonging to the Caliciviridae family. Norovirus is considered the major causative agent of non-bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. The main channel of transmittance is via contaminated food or water, as well as human-to-human contact. Most Noroviruses infecting humans belong to genogroup I and II (particularly genotype 4). Norovirus is very stable in the environment and is resistant to some surface disinfectants such as alcohols and detergents. Moreover, it is very difficult to culture Norovirus in vitro, making its identification by standard microbiological assays challenging.

T4 DNA Ligase is an ATP and Mg2+ dependent dsDNA ligase which catalyses the formation of a phosphodiester bond between 3’-hydroxyl and 5’-phosphate termini in duplex DNA, duplex RNA and some DNA/RNA hybrids. T4 DNA Ligase is active on both blunt-end and cohesive-end substrates. It is also completely inactivated by incubating at 70°C for 10 minutes.
This is a high-quality (commercial grade) version of the T4 DNA Ligase. T4 DNA Ligase is recombinantly produced in E. coli. ArcticZymes’ T4 DNA Ligase is extensively tested for contaminating DNase and RNase activities as well as residual host-cell gDNA.
