KeyZyme KikStart Taq DNA polymerase is a complex of specific anti-Taq monoclonal antibody with top quality thermostable Taq DNA polymerase for automatic "Hot Start" amplification, resulting in greatly enhanced amplification specificity. KeyZyme KikStart Taq DNA polymerase catalyzes the polymerisation of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5' to 3' direction with presence of Mg2+ but maintains the 5' to 3' exonuclease activity.
Switching to KeyZyme offers high quality PCR at reduced costs. The enzymes quality and perfomance is measured by sensitivity, consistency of manufacture plus competitor comparison.
Features
Ultra pure recombinant protein that is reversibly complexed with an anti-Taq monoclonal antibody which blocks the replication activity of the enzyme at moderate temperatures.
Carefully selected anti-Taq antibodies have high thermal stability, providing protection against non-specific primer extension from room temperature to 80°C
Formation of complexes between Taq DNA polymerase and an anti-Taq antibody forms a basis for automatic "hot start" amplification, which allows for the assembly of amplification reactions at room temperature.
High stability of the complexes allows for the enormous increase in amplification specificity, sensitivity and yield in comparison to the convential amplification assembly method.
Increased specificity as a result of reduced amplification artifacts such as primer-dimer formation and mispriming in multiplex amplification.
