Description

General description

Routine assays have medium size amplicons and 50% GC content. Taq DNA Polymerase has no proofreading or hot start features. It is optimally active at +75°C and pH 9. The 5′ → 3′ DNA polymerase lacks 3′ → 5′ exonuclease activity. The thermostable enzyme is a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of approximately 95 kD.
Lack of restriction endonuclease:
The enzyme originally isolated from T. aquaticus BM lacks Taq I restriction endonuclease activity.

The PCR Master contains all the reagents required to perform a standard PCR. All that must be added is the template DNA, the primers, and the required amount of water. The PCR Master contains a fixed MgCl₂ concentration of 1.5 mM. However, higher concentrations may be achieved by adding additional MgCl₂. PCR products generated by PCR Master are 3′-A single-overhang products. Therefore T/A cloning can be applied.
The PCR Master is stable at +2 to +8 °C, allowing immediate PCR without the time-consuming thawing of reagents.

Application

The PCR Master can be used instead of the single reagent Taq DNA Polmerase, or instead of the PCR Core Kit for nearly all simple, routine polymerase chain reaction applications. The only limitation is that the sample volume must not exceed half the total reaction volume. The PCR master mix is used for:

• Routine PCR
• RT-PCR
• Other primer-extension reactions, such as sequencing and labeling

Features and Benefits

• Reliable reproducible results:

High lot-to-lot consistency.

• Convenience:

Adding template and primer requires only two pipetting steps.

• Prevent PCR carryover:

dUTP incorporation combination with Uracil-DNA Glycosylase prevents PCR cross-contamination.

• Ready for immediate use:

Master mix can be stored at +2 to +8°C.

Packaging

1 kit containing 2 components.

Quality

Each lot is PCR tested using λDNA. Each lot is also tested for the absence of exo- and endonucleases, and nicking activities according to the current Quality Control procedures.

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
