Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase(Antibody Modified)

Description

Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase （ Antibody modification ） is a hot-start thermostable DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus YT-1，that possesses a 5´→ 3´ polymerase activity and a 5 ´ flap endonuclease activity. The hot-start Taq DNA polymerase is a Taq DNA polymerase which modified by thermolabile Taq antibodies. Antibody modification increased specificity, sensitivity, and yield of PCR.

Storage and transportation：Storage at -20 ℃ and transportation≤0℃

Supplied in: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4 at 25℃), 100 mM KCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5% Tween20, 0.5% IGEPALCA-630 and 50% Glycerol.

Unit definition： One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will incorporate 15 nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 75°C.

Quality Control Assays

• Endonuclease Activity: Incubation of 20 U of enzyme with 4 μg pUC19 DNA for 4 hours at 37°C resulted in no detectable degradation of the DNA as determined by gel electrophoresis.
• 5 kb Lambda PCR: 25 Cycles of PCR amplification of 5 ng Lambda DNA with 1.25units of Taq DNA Polymerase in the presence of 200 µM dNTPs and 0.2 µM primers results in the expected 5 kb product.
• Exonuclease Activity: Incubation of a 50 µL reaction containing a minimum of 12.5 U of Taq DNA Polymerase with 10 nmol 5´- FAM oligonucleotide for 30 minutes at 37℃ yields no detectable degradation.
• RNase Activity: Incubation of a 10 µL reaction containing 20 U of enzyme with 1 μg of RNA transcripts for 2 hours at 37°C resulted in no detectable degradation of the RNA as determined by gel Electrophoresis.

Heat Inactivation: No

Reaction setup:

b: The optimal concentration of Taq DNA Polymerase may range from 5–50 units/ml (0.1–0.5 units/25 µL reaction) in specialized applications.

Thermocycling Conditions for a Routine PCR:

a: An initial denaturation of 1 min at 95°C is sufficient for most amplicons. For difficult templates, a longer denaturation of 2-3 min at 95°C is recommended. With colony PCR, an initial 5 min denaturation at 95°C is recommended.

b: The annealing step is typically 15-60 s. The annealing temperature is based on the Tm of the primer pair and is typically 45-68℃.
