Molecular Biology

Product Introduction

QKGEN® HotStart DNA Polymerase is a novel hot-start enzyme. It uses two proprietary DNA binding proteins that at room temperature bind to the double-strand DNA template and primer, effectively neutralizing the DNA polymerase activity until denaturation occurs. As the denaturation step proceeds, the two proteins are inactivated, and the released primers and templates participate in the amplification reaction, enhancing PCR amplification efficiency.

Highlights

·Fidelity is 18 times that of QKGEN® Taq DNA Polymerase.

·Extension rate is about 1-2 kb/min.

·Specificity is superior to antibody blocking and chemical blocking of hot-start DNA polymerases.

·Prepare reactions at room temperature to reduce non-specific amplification and primer dimers.

·The use of  Taq antibodies reduces the risk of potential DNA contamination from mammals.

·Unlike chemically modified Taq, no heating steps are required.

·Amplification  of  genomic  DNA   fragments(≤15kb).

Unit Definition

One unit of QKGEN® HotStart DNA Polymerase incorporates 10 nmol of deoxyribonucleotide into acid-precipitable material in 30 minutes at 74℃.

Quality Control

·Functional absence of double-and single-strand endonuclease activity; >99% homogeneous measured by SDS-PAGE.

·Each batch of  the HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase has been assayed for amplification efficiency of the p53 gene from 10ng of  human genomic DNA.
