ABSTRACT:
A dry composition comprising a nucleotide linked to a fluorescent dye is provided. A method of making a dry composition comprising the step of drying a solution comprising a nucleotide linked to a fluorescent dye is provided. A method is provided for performing a reaction on a nucleic acid substrate comprising: (a) providing a vessel containing a dried composition comprising a nucleotide linked to a fluorescent dye, and (b) adding to the vessel an aqueous solution and the nucleic acid substrate. A kit is provided for determining the sequence of a nucleic acid, the kit comprising a dry composition comprising a nucleotide linked to a fluorescent dye.
