Description
Each frozen aliquot contains partially purified, live, titered MS2 Bacteriophage. MS2 Bacteriophage is a single stranded RNA virus that infects Escherichia coli. The titer was adjusted to a target titer in plaque forming units/mL (pfu/mL) using a standard plaque-forming unit assay. The MS2 Bacteriophage is supplied in SM buffer and the preparation may contain some E. coli nucleic acidsThe copy number of the MS2 Bacteriophage genome will vary from preparation to preparation. This variation results from incomplete bacteriophage coat assembly, incorrectly assembled bacteriophage, and/or free-floating nucleic acids
