Application
FastStart™ Taq DNA Polymerase is a thermostable, chemically modified form of recombinant Taq DNA Polymerase. The enzyme is inactive at +15 to +25°C during PCR setup, and then activated at +95°C during initial denaturation. This enzyme delivers superior results due to its unique enzyme design and optimized buffer system. FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase is an ideal tool for hot start PCR, because the enzyme remains inactive during PCR setup and prior to the initial denaturation step. It can be applied for PCR:Hot start PCR up to 3 kbHot Start RT-PCR up to 3 kbMultiplex PCRDifficult templates, e.g., secondary structures or GC-rich sequencesAutomated PCR, e.g., handling at room temperaturesquantitaive PCR(qPCR)For maximum convenience, select the 2x concentrated ready-to-use FastStart PCR Master.

Use robotic setup.Use this enyzme mix stable for 24 hours at +15 to +25°C. Prevent PCR carryover contamination.Incorporate dUTP and use Uracil-DNA Glycosylase to pretreat PCR master mixes. Cost-effective.Use the convenient premixed solution of PCR grade nucleotides.
General description
The enzyme dNTPack comprises FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase and a ready-to-use solution of PCR grade nucleotides. FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase is a versatile enzyme that can be used in a wide variety of applications and on multiple instrument platforms. This modified, thermostable, recombinant Taq DNA polymerase is inactive at temperatures below +75 °C, but is activated by a 2 to 4 minute heat activation step at +95 °C. Since it is inactive at low temperatures, FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase cannot elongate non-specific primer-template hybrids that may form at those temperatures. An optimized PCR buffer system and a GC-RICH Solution to enable the enzyme to handle a wide range of templates are also supplied.
