Product Information

Description

OneTaq® Quick-Load® 2X Master Mix with Standard Buffer is an optimized, ready-to-use blend of Taq and Deep Vent® DNA Polymerases ideally suited to routine PCR applications from a variety of templates, including pure DNA solutions, bacterial colonies and cDNA products. The 3′→5′ exonuclease activity of Deep Vent DNA Polymerase increases the fidelity and robust amplification of Taq DNA Polymerase (1). The convenient quick-load master mix formulation contains dNTPs, MgCl2, buffer components and stabilizers as well as two commonly used tracking dyes for DNA gels. On a 1% agarose gel in 1X TBE, Xylene Cyanol FF migrates at ~4 kb and Tartrazine migrates at ~10 bp. Both dyes are present in concentrations that do not mask comigrating DNA bands.

Comparison of OneTaq Products to Other Commercially Available Polymerases

OneTaq_ComparisonChart_0220 
Amplification of a selection of high GC human genomic DNA targets demonstrates OneTaq performance. All polymerases were cycled according to manufacturer’s recommendations, including the use of additives to enhance the amplification of targets with high GC content. Yield (dot size) and purity (color) of reaction product were quantified from triplicate reactions on a Perkin Elmer LabChip®. A large, dark green dot represents the highest yield and purity.
