AmpliTaq Gold™ DNA Polymerase with Buffer I

AmpliTaq Gold DNA Polymerase can be activated partially or completely in a pre-PCR heat step or can be allowed to activate slowly in a time-released manner during the denaturation steps of thermal cycling. With or without a limited up-front heat activation step, active enzyme is released slowly during thermal cycling to match template concentration and increase specificity. The yield of specific product increases as reactants are not wasted in the formation of unintended products.

Features

• Automated chemical hot-start enzyme for increased specificity, sensitivity, and yield
• Time-released thermal activation improves sensitivity in low copy number amplifications
• Successful multiplex PCR saves time and reagents
• Includes GeneAmp 10X PCR Buffer I with 15 mM MgCl₂
• Hot-start technology reduces risk of biological contamination

Notes

• For better performance AmpliTaq Gold 360 DNA Polymerase is purified by an additional proprietary separation process to eliminate contaminating bacterial DNA sequences from the enzyme preparation.
• When used with the enhanced 360 Gold Buffer, this ultra-pure enzyme reduces false positive results, amplifies low-level target sequences, and promotes the amplification of a variety of templates.
