Abstract for GoTaq® Hot Start Green Master Mix
GoTaq® Hot Start Green Master Mix is a premixed
ready-to-use solution containing GoTaq® Hot Start Polymerase, dNTPs,
MgCl2 and reaction buffers at optimal concentrations for efficient
amplification of DNA templates by PCR. GoTaq® Hot Start Polymerase
contains the high-performance GoTaq® DNA Polymerase bound to a
proprietary antibody that blocks polymerase activity. The polymerase
activity is restored during the initial denaturation step when
amplification reactions are heated at 94–95°C for two minutes. This
allows hot-start PCR in which polymerase activity is inhibited at
temperatures below 70°C, allowing convenient room-temperature
reaction setup. Hot-start PCR is advantageous for some amplification
targets, because it may eliminate or minimize primer-dimer and
secondary products. In some cases, hot-start PCR may improve yields. |
