JumpStart^™ Taq DNA Polymerase

Features and Benefits

• Greater Specificity & Increased Target Yield. JumpStart Taq Polymerase, an antibody inactivated hot start enzyme, is designed to minimize non-specific amplification while increasing target yield & specificity
• Enhanced Sensitivity. JumpStart Taq DNA Polymerase provides superior amplification regardless of template concentration
• Ultimate Convenience. Reduce set-up time and eliminate concerns associated with manual or wax Hot Start methods

Other Notes

Sigma′s JumpStart Taq DNA Polymerase is an antibody-inactivated hot-start enzyme designed to minimize non-specific amplification while increasing target yield. Once the reaction temperature reaches 70°C, Taq DNA polymerase activity is restored and the resulting PCR exhibits a higher specificity and yield. This antibody-enzyme complex allows for easy and convenient set-up with less contamination risk than manual hot-start techniques. The enzyme may also be included in the master mix preparation resulting in more consistency from one reaction to the next.
