  • High Fidelity & efficient & fast DNA polymerase KOD -Plus- Neo

DESCRIPTION

  • KOD -Plus- Neo is based on a DNA polymerase from the hyperthermophilic Archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1(1) (2). This polymerase exhibits excellent PCR fidelity because of its efficient 3'→5' exonuclease activity (proof reading activity). This product contains a unique "elongation enhancer" that suppresses the "plateau effect" produced by conventional PCR. Therefore, this reagent exhibits greater amplification efficiency and elongation capability compared to the previous version of KOD -Plus- (Code No. KOD-201).

    Moreover, this enzyme requires only 30 sec/kb for the PCR extension step. This facilitates the long range PCR.
    This enzyme contains two anti-KOD DNA polymerase antibodies that inhibit polymerase and 3'→5' exonuclease activity, thus allowing for Hot Start PCR(3). This polymerase generates blunt-end PCR products due to 3'→5' exonuclease (proof-reading) activity.

Features

  • ・KOD -Plus- Neo exhibits 80-fold greater PCR fidelity than Taq DNA polymerase.
  • ・"Elongation enhancer" enables greater amplification efficiency and elongation capability (up to 24 kb from human genomic DNA) compared to conventional PCR.
  • ・Requires only 30 sec/kb for the PCR extension step.
  • ・2-step cycle conditions can be used for amplification using ≥ 20 mer primers (melting temperatures, Tm >63ºC).

Mutation frequency

（Number of misincorporated bases/100,000 bases）

*Mutation frequency was measured by sequence analysis of human β-globin gene products amplified from human genomic DNA via TA cloning.
