Rhodamine dUTP and capillary eletrophoresis

[Edward Weiss]

I don't think the salt concentration is a particular issue -- we've done 
exactly the same procedure using labeled primers instead of labeled 
dUTP, and it works fine. I don't imagine the salt concentration of the 
dUTP stock would be so high as to make things significantly different in 
the final product. I've tried 1/10 and 1/20 dilutions too, with no luck.

Thanks for the help,

Ed
