Description
Performance
Empirical’s FASTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase is a chemically modified hot-start Taq polymerase designed to reduce non-specific DNA amplification during reaction set up.
FASTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase and Buffer System has been developed for Automated Dispensing, High-Throughput and Microarray applications.
FASTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase has activation times of two to 10 minutes at 95°C, resulting in faster cycling and fewer program changes.
Chemical modification keeps FASTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase free of any contaminating DNA from modifying agents (such as antibodies). FASTaq™ DNA Polymerase, IVD Grade, is manufactured under ISO13485 Quality System and is suitable for use as a raw material in IVD applications.
Applications:
- HotStart PCR and RT-PCR
- Labeling of DNA with modified nucleotides
- Manufacture of application mixes requiring stringent controls and validation
