OneTaq® Hot Start 2X Master Mix with Standard Buffer is an optimized blend of Taq and Deep VentR ™ DNA Polymerases combined with an aptamer-based inhibitor. This enzyme blend is ideally suited to routine PCR applications from a variety of templates, including pure DNA solutions, bacterial colonies and cDNA products. The 3´→5´ exonuclease activity of Deep Vent DNA Polymerase increases the fidelity and robust amplification of Taq DNA Polymerase (1). The hot start nature of the enzyme offers convenience with decreased interference from primer dimers and secondary products. The convenient master mix formulation contains dNTPs, MgCl2 and other buffer components and stabilizers listed below, requiring only the addition of primers and DNA template for robust amplification
