Taq DNA polymerase (Robust buffer)

Description

Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase (Taq DNA polymerase) gene was expressed in E.coli in large quantities and highly purified. The enzyme has thermostable DNA polymerase activity and the MW is 94 kDa, same as that of the natural enzyme.

This enzyme is suitable for PCR reactions; capable of amplifying DNA with various primers.

Application

High-throughput PCR
Colony PCR
Incorporation of dUTP, dITP, and fluorescence-labeled nucleotides
Primer extension
Addition of a single nucleotide (adenosine) at the 3’-blunt ends for cloning into TA vector.

Quality Assurance

Greater than 95% purity as determined by SDS-PAGE (CBB staining) (Fig.1) The absence of endonucleases and exonucleases was confirmed.

PCR Test

Good amplification result was obtained in PCR reaction using λDNA as a template up to 14 kB (Fig.2).

Reagents Supplied with Enzyme

Cautions for usage of Robust Buffer (Taq)

Robust Buffer induces maximum enzymatic activity. Therefore, cares should be taken to avoid production of undesirable smear bands in gel electrophoresis analysis by longer than optimal reaction time. We recommend about 5 to 10 seconds / kb elongation time for template up to 8 kb, and about 15 seconds / kb for up to 14 kb. We will recommend roughly the same elongation time to be set with 2-step PCR (shuttle PCR) and 3-step PCR. Extend the elongation time by short steps when amplification is not seen. The results of your experiments can be observed more rapidly by adopting 2-step PCR.
