Application
Use Taq DNA Polymerase, GMP Grade, 5 U/μl, for:
- Routine PCR and RT-PCR applications
- Amplification of DNA fragments up to 3 kb from various sources of DNA
- Labeling of DNA with modified nucleotides (e.g., DIG-dUTP, biotin-dUTP, fluorescein-dUTP)
- Combination with dUTP and Uracil-DNA Glycosylase for prevention of carryover contamination between PCR reactions
- Manufacture of amplification mixtures for applications with regulatory requirements (e.g.,in vitro diagnostics, quality control)
Properties
Taq DNA Polymerase is the recombinant full-length version of the thermostable enzyme from the eubacterium Thermus aquaticus BM, expressed in E. coli.
