The invention concerns stable aqueous solutions containing one or several nucleoside
triphosphates wherein the respective solution has a pH value of more than 7.5 and
contains no additional substances with a stabilizing effect. The nucleoside triphosphate
solutions are used in particular for DNA synthesizing reactions such as e.g. RT-PCR,
cycle sequencing, random priming and nick translation. One of the most important
applications of such solutions containing deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (d-NTP)
is their use in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
