ACTaq™ High Fidelity DNA Polymerase  P/N: E2000

Product Description:           ACTaq™ High Fidelity  DNA Polymerase, originating from Pyrococcus furiosus with a molecular weight of 90KDa, is a thermo stable enzyme and exhibits the lower error rate of DNA amplification.  For use in DNA fragment extension amplification reactions with 3′ to 5′ exonuclease proofreading activity; at extension amplification speed of 1000 bases per minute and optimized between 65-75oC, when using dNTP concentration at 100-300μM, Mg2+ concentration at 2.0-3.0mM, and pH at 8.1-9.1.  ACTaq™ High Fidelity DNA Polymerase generates blunt-ended fragment.

Storage Condition:                  -20oC. Stable for at least 12 months in constant freezer temperature.

Concentration:                          5 Units/μL

Unit Definition:                       One unit of the amount of enzyme that incorporates 10nmols of dNTPs into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 72oC.

Product Components:        ACTaq™ High Fidelity DNA Polymerase, 10x PCR reaction buffer with Mg2+
(Buffer and MgCl2 concentrations are customizable upon request)

Storage Buffer:                       10mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 100mM KCl, 0.1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.5% Tween®20, 0.5% NP-40, 50% Glycerol.

PCR Reaction Buffer:            10x PCR buffer with Mg2+.  20mM MgSO4, 100mM KCl, 160mM
(NH4)2SO4, , 200mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 0.5% Triton X100, 1mg/ml BSA.

Quality Control:                      Activity of PCR for 1Kb fragment.  Free of contaminating endonucleases, exonucleases, and nicking activities.  The purity of the enzyme is evaluated by SDS-PAGE at >95% purity.


ACTaq™ Blue High Fidelity DNA Polymerase       P/N: E2000B (blue)

Product Description:           ACTaq™ High Fidelity  DNA Polymerase, originating from Pyrococcus furiosus with a molecular weight of 90KDa, is a thermo stable enzyme and exhibits the lower error rate of DNA amplification.  For use in DNA fragment extension amplification reactions with 3′ to 5′ exonuclease proofreading activity; at extension amplification speed of 1000 bases per minute and optimized between 65-75oC, when using dNTP concentration at 100-300μM, Mg2+ concentration at 2.0-3.0mM, and pH at 8.1-9.1. ACTaq™ High fidelity DNA Polymerase generates blunt-ended fragment. It comes with blue dye premixed with the enzyme used for tracking and loading dye purpose and therefore no additional loading buffer if needed.
