High-yielding, ultrapure modified Taq DNA polymerase delivers robust, reliable duplex assay performance
Stringent, ultrapure antibody hotstart ensures sensitive and specific target amplification
Separate electrophoretic mobility dye reduces risk of post-PCR cross contamination with gel electrophoresis
AccuStart II PCR ToughMix is intended for molecular biology applications. This product is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a disease.
Description
AccuStart II PCR ToughMix is a 2X concentrated ready-to-use reaction cocktail for PCR amplification of DNA templates that overcomes many known inhibitors of PCR often present in crude samples extracted from environmental specimens, plant tissues, or animal tissues. The only user supplied components are DNA template and molecular grade water.
A key component to AccuStart PCR ToughMix is an ultra pure, highly processive thermostable DNA polymerase that is combined with high avidity monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies bind the polymerase and keep it inactive prior to the initial PCR denaturation step. This enables specific and efficient primer extension with the convenience of room temperature reaction assembly. Similar to Taq DNA polymerase, the activated polymerase in AccuStart II PCR ToughMix possesses 5'>3' DNA polymerase activity and a double-strand specific 5'>3' exonuclease.
