Hot Start PCR •Hot Start PCR •Multiplex PCR •RT-PCR •GC-rich template amplification •Difficult, challenging PCRs Note: The FastStart High Fidelity PCR System is the product of choice for multiplex PCR. For more information, see the application note “Step-by-Step Protocol for Multiplex PCR with the FastStart High Fidelity PCR System and the PCR Optimization Kit ”. As this note demonstrates, the system amplifies up to 18 PCR targets simultaneously after the reaction is optimized with the PCR Optimization Kit. Benefits •Amplify longer templates. The reagent enables the amplification of a variety of DNA and cDNA fragments up to 5 kb. •Increase fidelity. The enzyme blend shows a 4-fold higher fidelity compared to Taq DNA Polymerase and FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase. •Achieve excellent performance in multiplex PCR. The system amplifies multiple PCR fragments simultaneously. For difficult multiplex reactions, optimal performance is obtained in combination with our PCR Optimization Kit. •Challenge even the most problematic DNA. DMSO, a PCR additive that facilitates working with difficult templates, is conveniently supplied with this product. Product Description The enzyme dNTPack comprises the FastStart High Fidelity PCR System and PCR-Grade Nucleotides in a ready-to-use solution. The FastStart High Fidelity PCR System is a unique blend of FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase and a novel thermostable proofreading protein, which is also chemically modified. This protein mediates proofreading activity, but carries no polymerase activity. Both proteins are inactive below 75°C and are activated by heating to 95°C for 2 minutes. Volume activity: 5 U/μl |
