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.
