PCR-Generated DNA Templates<br />
For PCR-generated templates, the T7 TNT® PCR Enhancer<br />
should be included in the transcription/translation reaction.<br />
Assemble the reaction components (below) in a 0.5ml or<br />
1.5ml microcentrifuge tube. After addition of all the<br />
components, gently mix by pipetting. If necessary,<br />

the tube. For the control reaction, use 1µl of the Luciferase<br />
Control DNA supplied.<br />
Note: We recommend also including a negative control<br />
reaction containing no added template to allow<br />
measurement of background incorporation of labeled amino<br />
acids.<br />
