FastGene BAC free HS TAQ

Details

For complex templates – bacteria free polymerase

The FastGene^® BAC-free HS Taq DNA Polymerase is based on the single-subunit, wild-type Taq DNA polymerase of the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus. It is however not a bacterial recombinant protein but purified from a eukaryotic expression system.

Applications

• High throughput PCR of bacterial genomes
• Amplification of low copy DNA templates
• Multiplex PCR
• Specific amplification of complex templates
• RT-PCR

Eukaryotic Expression System – No more false positive

Performing PCR with bacterial templates could lead to a false positive, when using Taq enzymes purified from E. coli expression systems due to a contamination of the Taq enzyme with prokaryotic genomes. The FastGene^® BAC-free HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase is produced using eukaryotic cells. Hence, no bacterial genome is present.
