What concentration of dNTPs is typically used in a PCR amplification?
The four dNTPs (dATP, dCTP, dTTP, dGTP) are used at a final concentration of 200 µM each or a total of 0.8 mM in standard amplifications. For PCR amplifications that require high fidelity, lower dNTP concentrations (on the order of 10-50 µM) work optimally.
