Information
This kit contains six vials of Lambda DNA for performing a Lambda Control Experiment.
Lambda DNA is 48.5 kb long and serves as a good model system to evaluate the nanopore sequencing workflow. Control experiments should be carried out when users are getting started with an Oxford Nanopore device, or when troubleshooting library preparation.
The Control Expansion Kit features:
| Feature | Property |
|---|
| Associated protocols | Please refer to the Protocols tab. |
| Pack size | 24 reactions |
| Storage | -20°C to -30°C |
| Stability | This kit is stable during shipping for 7 days at temperatures up to 25ºC. Upon receipt, please store the kit at -20°C to -30°C. Oxford Nanopore Technologies deem the useful life of the product to be 3 months from receipt by the customer. |
Shipping and logistics:
Flow cells and kits are shipped together in an environmentally friendly temperature-controlled shipping box.
Products are shipped to customers within the USA and EU Monday to Thursday. Shipments to Canada, Norway, Korea and Japan are expedited Monday to Wednesday; with Australia and New Zealand leaving our warehouses on a Friday. Shipments to the rest of the world are made on Mondays to allow the full working week for packages to arrive.
The delivery charges are calculated when a quote is raised or during checkout. Once an order is made, the delivery ID and delivery information can be tracked in the Store.
What's in the box
The Control Expansion contains Lambda DNA (LMD), sufficient for at least 24 reactions.

| Name | Acronym | Cap colour | No. of vials | Fill volume per vial (μl) |
|---|
| Lambda DNA | LMD | Yellow | 6 | 90 |
Note: The Lambda DNA (LMD) is a pure, high-quality 48.5 kb DNA (consisting of a complete genome of Enterobacteria phage lambda) that can be used to prepare a library and run a control experiment.
