st DNA polymerase combined with AptaLock™ reversible hot-start technology power our IsoFast™ Hot Start Bst reagents. These products are ideal for all isothermal amplification workflows, giving more sensitive and reliable results faster than ever before.
IsoFast™ Hot Start Bst Polymerase is a recombinant version of the large fragment of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formerly known as Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bst) DNA Polymerase. It is engineered to retain 5’-3’ polymerase activity, but lacks 5’-3’ exonuclease activity. The enzyme’s strong strand displacement capability eliminates the need for denaturation required by standard PCR. Combined with powerful hot start technology, to minimise primer dimer formation and non-specific target amplification, this novel formulation is ideal for non-PCR based amplification.
Features:
AptaLock™ hot start for ultra-sensitive detection of DNA targets
Rapid polymerisation for faster time to results (as little as 10 mins)
Detect down to 3 target copies per μL
Ideal for both cold and room temperature setup
Improved speed and sensitivity for early target detection
High activity at a broad range of temperatures from 55-70
Available with and without fluorescent dye, and as a 2x ready mix
Formats available for colourimetric assays.
