    Product Description

    2',3'-Dideoxythymidine-5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (ddTTP-α-S) is a sulfur-containing nucleoside triphosphate derivative. Thiol-containing dideoxynucleoside triphosphates (α-S-ddNTPs) incorporated into allele-specific primers prevent complete digestion by 5’-phosphodiesterase, which allows for alkylation and identification of SNP-containing alleles.1 ddTTP-α-S has been used for chain extension in PCR assays.2 ddTTP-α-S is a mixture of Rp and Sp isomers.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
