HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase uses a chemically mediated hot start that, unlike, antibody-mediated systems, leads to complete inactivation of the polymerase until the initial heat activation step at the start of PCR. HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase is supplied with the unique QIAGEN PCR Buffer, which minimizes nonspecific amplification products, primer dimers, and background. Q-Solution, a novel additive that enables efficient amplification of "difficult" (e.g., GC rich) templates, is also provided.
Advanced Formulation for Reliable PCRThis Taq DNA polymerase is optimized for consistent performance in a wide range of PCR applications, from cloning to diagnostics. The enzyme's buffer system enhances specificity and reaction robustness, allowing high-fidelity amplification across diverse sample types and conditions.
Flexible and Easy-to-Use EnzymeQiagen Taq DNA polymerase can be used with all standard thermal cyclers and integrates into most common PCR protocols. Supplied in convenient vials, the enzyme is portable and straightforward to store at -20C, ensuring flexibility for laboratory workflows.
Designed for Research NeedsWith its capacity for amplifying DNA fragments up to 5 kb, this polymerase is ideal for standard and specialized research tasks. The 25,000-unit pack is suited for users requiring a reliable, high-volume supply for frequent or large-scale PCR experiments.
FAQ's of Qiagen Taq DNA Polymerase (25000):
Q: How do I set up a typical PCR reaction using Qiagen Taq DNA Polymerase?
A: To set up a standard 50 l PCR reaction, use 1-2.5 units of Qiagen Taq DNA Polymerase. Combine the enzyme with the recommended buffer (which contains MgCl2, KCl, Tris-HCl, and stabilizers), dNTPs, primers, template DNA, and water. Mix gently and run the reaction in your thermal cycler as per your cycling protocol.
Q: What is the shelf life and storage requirement for this polymerase?
A: The shelf life of Qiagen Taq DNA Polymerase is 12 months when stored at -20C. Always return the enzyme to the freezer immediately after use to maintain stability and activity. Do not thaw and refreeze repeatedly.
Q: Where can I find the expiry date for my enzyme lot?
A: The expiry date for your batch is provided in the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis, which accompanies each product shipment. Ensure to reference this document before use for quality assurance.
Q: What are the benefits of using Qiagen Taq DNA Polymerase for my applications?
A: This enzyme offers robust DNA amplification with high specificity, making it suitable for cloning, genotyping, mutagenesis, routine PCR, and diagnostic assays. Its optimized buffer ensures consistent results across various DNA templates and workflows.
Q: Can Qiagen Taq DNA Polymerase be used with any thermal cycler?
A: Yes, this polymerase is compatible with all major thermal cyclers, allowing seamless integration into virtually any laboratory PCR setup.
Q: What is the maximum fragment size I can amplify with this enzyme?
A: Qiagen Taq DNA Polymerase reliably amplifies DNA fragments up to 5 kb, making it suitable for most standard PCR applications in research laboratories.
Q: In what format and condition is the enzyme shipped?
A: The enzyme is supplied as a colorless to slight yellow clear solution in vials, shipped securely on dry ice to ensure it remains stable and active during transport.
