Key Features:
  • Terminal Transferase Activity: Taq DNA Polymerase has terminal transferase activity which results in the addition of a single nucleotide (adenosine) at the 3' end of the extension product.
  • High-purity: No contamination activity has been detected in standard test reactions.

    Description:
    Taq DNA Polymerase is a thermostable DNA Polymerase isolated from an E. coli strain that carries the Taq DNA polymerase gene. Taq DNA Polymerase is the most common polymerase used for PCR*.

  • Note: This product is supplied with 10X reaction buffer containing 15 mM magnesium chloride. dNTP (10 mM) mixture must be ordered separately (see related products).

    Applications:
    The applications of Taq DNA Polymerase include the following:
  • PCR*
  • 3'A-tailing of blunt ends
  • Primer extension
  • DNA sequencing


  • Formulation:
    GenScript Taq DNA Polymerase has been formulated using GenScript's proprietary technology. The enzyme can be shipped at room temperature or even 37°C for seven days without any loss of activity.

    QC Tests: PCR* performance, activity, nuclease

    Unit Definition: One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that can incorporates 10 nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 74°C.

    10 X Reaction Buffer (with Mg2+): 500 mM KCl, 100 mM Tris HCl (pH 9.0 at 25°C), 15 mM MgCl2, 1% Triton X-100
    Buffer. This buffer is optimized for use with 200 µM dNTPs.
    Note: If the reaction is performed without this buffer, then add 0.1% Triton X-100 (final concentration) to ensure high activity.

    Concentration: Taq is delivered in 5 units/µl in 20 mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% Triton X-100 and 50% glycerol.

    Storage: Store the product at -20°C.
