KAPATaq DNA Polymerase

KAPATaq DNA Polymerase produces high yield and offers high sensitivity

KAPATaq DNA Polymerase is the single-subunit Taq DNA polymerase enzyme from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus, purified from recombinant Escherichia coli. Taq polymerizes DNA from a primer annealed to a DNA template in the presence of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. Taq possesses 5'→3' polymerase activity, as well as double-strand dependent 5'→3' exonuclease activity. The enzyme lacks 3'→5' exonuclease activity and therefore does not possess a proofreading function.

KAPATaq is also available in ReadyMix format and/or with loading dye reaction buffer. The green loading dye will not inhibit the efficiency of the PCR reaction allowing you to save time and effort without compromising performance. After PCR cycling simply load your PCR product directly onto the agarose gel with no extra steps for adding loading/tracking dye.

KAPATaq DNA Polymerase is ideally suited for :

• Standard PCR
• DNA labeling
• DNA sequencing
• Numerous applications for which a high-quality thermostable DNA polymerase is required
