BlasTaq™ 2X PCR MasterMix

Blast through a routine 2 hour PCR run in only 20 minutes

Product Description

BlasTaq™ 2X PCR MasterMix is a ready-to-use MasterMix containing abm’s BlasTaq™ DNA Polymerase in a uniquely-formulated buffer with gel loading dye. BlasTaq™ DNA Polymerase is a strategically-engineered, next generation Taq Polymerase that has rapid extension rates and robust performance.

With specialized reaction conditions, this polymerase provides increased processivity, yields, and sensitivity, while shortening reaction times by up to 70%, compared to wild-type Taq DNA polymerase. BlasTaq™ has 5’-3’ polymerase and 5’-3’ exonuclease activities, lacks 3’-5’ exonuclease activity, and produces 3’-dA-tailed amplicons. PCR products made with BlasTaq™ can be used with TA cloning vectors.

Product Features

• 6 kb/min extension speed
• 40-70% less time needed than reguar Taq
• Superior senstivitiy
