TaqBead™ Hot Start Polymerase facilitates hot-start PCR by keeping the enzyme sequestered in paraffin wax until the reaction temperature reaches approximately 60°C. This technique increases PCR specificity by keeping the polymerase separate from the rest of the reaction components until a critical temperature is reached, thus decreasing the probability of generating products that are the result of nonspecific binding of primers to each other or to template DNA.
