Long and Accurate PCR Reagents

Many of today's PCR based applications require longer read lengths, greater fidelity and higher yields than that which can be achieved with Taq DNA polymerase. Cloning and expression experiments, cDNA analysis and array work can be improved by using long and accurate amplification over routine amplification.

Long and Accurate (LA) amplification is achieved by combining a thermostable polymerase with a second polymerase exhibiting a 3'—>5' exonuclease activity. The exonuclease, or proofreading, activity repairs terminal misincorporations. This repair allows for greater read lengths and increased fidelity.

Sigma Aldrich brings you a complete line of Long and Accurate products for DNA research. Our AccuTaq LA and KlenTaq LA enzymes and blends provide increased yield, higher processivity for greater lengths, and proofreading activity for increased fidelity over other long and accurate enzymes.

KlenTaq LA DNA Polymerase (D5062), KlenTaq DV ReadyMix (D1691), and RED KlenTaq DV ReadyMix (D1816)

An optimized mix of KlenTaq-1 and a proofreading exonuclease, these enzymes are the products of choice for amplifying DNA with difficult secondary structure or for applications requiring high yields and fidelity.

• Generate amplicons up to 5 kb on complex templates or 20 kb on less complex DNA with higher fidelity (4X higher than standard Taq) using KlenTaq LA DNA polymerase
• KlenTaq DV ReadyMix provides increased sensitivity and yield over Taq DNA polymerase master mixes
• RED KlenTaq DV ReadyMix allows for quick recognition of addition and mixing as well as direct loading to an agarose gel

Amplification was performed with various amounts of lambda DNA using Taq DNA polymerase and KlenTaq LA DNA polymerase. Reaction volume was 50 5l and specific primers were chosen to generate 2.5 kb, 6 kb, 10 kb and 20 kb amplicaons.

Combining an antibody based hot start mechanism with our long and accurate enzymes results in increased specificity and sensitivity to our high yield, high fidelity products. JumpStart AccuTaq is the ideal choice for high fidelity cloning applications or high yield array work.

• Greater specificity with antibody inactivation over standard Taq or chemically inactivated enzymes
• Hot start mechanism allows for room temperature set up of reactions, ideal for high throughput applications
• Increased specificity, with amplification from as low as 0.4 ng of template

Long and accurate hot start enzymes were used to amplify a 5 kb fragment starting with 25 ng of total human genomic DNA. All reactions were performed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
