Taq DNA Polymerase without Mg2+
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*.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

Unit Definition
One unit is the amount of enzyme that can incorporate 10 nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 74°C.10 X Reaction Buffer (without Mg2+)
500 mM KCl, 100 mM Tris HCl (pH 9.0 at 25°C), 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.
Storage Buffer and 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:
-20°C*The PCR process is covered by US. Patents numbers 4683195 and 4683202, issued to Cetus and owned by Hoffman-La Roche Inc. GenScript does not encourage or support the unauthorized use of the PCR process.
