Standard PCR
KAPA Taq DNA Polymerase is based on the single-subunit, wild-type Taq DNA polymerase of the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus. In the HotStart formulation, the enzyme is combined with a proprietary antibody that inactivates the enzyme until the first denaturation step. This eliminates spurious amplification products resulting from non-specific priming events during reaction setup and initiation, and increases overall reaction efficiency and sensitivity.
KAPA Taq and KAPA Taq HotStart DNA Polymerase is ideally suited for:
- High throughput PCR
- Amplification of low copy DNA templates
- Multiplex PCR
- Specific amplification of complex templates
- RT-PCR
