Enhancer for Polymerase reactions at roomtemperature / monoclonal antibody to Taq DNA Polymerase
Features:
– Anti–Taq (monoclonal antibody to Taq DNA polymerase) inhibits the
reaction of Taq DNA Polymerases at room temperature
– Ideal as enhancer for PCR reactions or for “homemade” Hot-Start
Polymerase
Application:
Polymerase detergent/enhancer for:
– High specific amplification
– Multiplex amplification
– High sensitivity applications
– Low-copy number PCR
Unit definition:
One unit is defined as the amount required to blocks 50% activity of 1 µg of Polymerase
Note: The ratio units/mg of polymerase varies (up to factor of 10). The binding rate Anti–Taq depends strongly of the polymerization region (active epitopes) of the polymerase. The optimized mixture has to be found in empiric test and for every new lot of polymerase, again.
