Horse-Power™ Taq DNA Polymerase

Horse-Power™ Taq DNA Polymerase

Highly Purified (>98%) for Routine Amplifications

Product Overview:

Horse-Power™ Taq DNA Polymerase is a pure, versatile and thermostable recombinant enzyme produced in an E. coli strain, which carries the cloned pol gene from Thermus aquaticus. The enzyme has 5’→3’ polymerase activity and a weak 5’→3’ exonuclease activity but no 3’→5’ exonuclease activity (proofreading).

Advantages & Features

  • Highest purity: greater than 98% confirmed by SDS-PAGE.
  • Highest quality: high activity, specificity, thermostability and performance in PCR.
  • Highly efficient: reactivation buffer improved.
  • Thermostable: half-life at 94 ºC is 40 minutes.
  • Adds extra nucleotides: preferentially adenine, without template at 3´ends leaving 3´overhangs PCR fragments.
  • Incorporates modified nucleotides: biotinylated, fluorescently labelled, etc.
  • Molecular Weight: 94 kDa.
  • Convenient: available in different concentrations, sizes and solutions.
  • Complete solution: includes MgCl2.
  • Risk-free: product covered by our Quality 100% Guarantee.
