  • Standard PCR Enzyme rTaq DNA Polymerase

DESCRIPTION

  • Taq DNA polymerase is the most widely used thermostable DNA polymerase derived from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus aquaticus (Taq) YT-1. The enzyme possesses a 5’→3’ polymerase activity and a double-strand specific 5’→ 3’ exonuclease activity.

Features

  • ・Tolerates various kinds of PCR protocols.
  • ・Applicable for hot start technology by adding anti-Taq antibody (Code No. TCP-101).
  • ・PCR products can be cloned by using a TA cloning method.
  • ・Incorporates dUTP, dITP, and fluorescently-labeled nucleotides.

Details
