rTaq DNA Polymerase
Standard PCR Enzyme
Taq DNA polymerase is the most widely used thermostable DNA polymerase derived from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus aquaticus (Taq) YT-1. The enzyme possesses a 5’→3’ polymerase activity and a double-strand specific 5’→ 3’ exonuclease activity.
Features
- Tolerates various kinds of PCR protocols.
- Applicable for hot start technology by adding anti-Taq antibody (Cat No. TCP-101).
- PCR products can be cloned by using a TA cloning method.
- Incorporates dUTP, dITP, and fluorescently-labeled nucleotides.
