  • Chemical PCR: Compositions for enhancing polynucleotide amplification reactions
    Patent number: 7772383
    Abstract: A composition for performing a polynucleotide amplification reaction at low temperature, including a polynucleotide amplification reaction mixture into which is incorporated a sufficiently high concentration of a low molecular weight compound selected from the group consisting of amides, sulfones, sulfoxides and diols, to accomplish the amplification at the low temperature. In another embodiment, a composition for enhancing a polynucleotide amplification reaction, including a polynucleotide amplification reaction mixture into which is incorporated a low molecular weight diol in an amount effective to enhance the polynucleotide amplification.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2004
    Date of Patent: August 10, 2010
    Assignee: The Trustees of Princeton University
    Inventors: Raj Chakrabarti, Clarence Schutt
