Overview

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).

Key Features

Key Feature

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.
