Polymerases 

Features

• First choice for high fidelity, high yield endpoint PCR
• A wide range of PCR products can be obtained (<100 bp to 20 kb for genomic DNA targets)
• Less optimization and more reproducible results than Taq – optimized 10X Buffer and dNTPs are included with the enzyme
• PCR products can be obtained for a wide variety of templates, including genomic DNA and plant samples
• DNA proofreading activity allows for high fidelity and high sensitivity reactions
• A high performance PCR enzyme that can amplify even difficult templates

Further Information

TaKaRa Ex Taq DNA Polymerase combines the proven performance of Takara Taq polymerase with the proofreading activity of an efficient 3' to 5' exonuclease for high sensitivity, high efficiency PCR reactions. In routine PCR applications, using the Ex Taq polymerase and Ex Taq Buffer system results in higher yields of PCR products as compared to standard Taq DNA polymerase. In addition, Ex Taq polymerase has a higher fidelity that standard Taq (mutation rate approximately 4.5X lower, as determined by the Kunkel method). Ex Taq DNA Polymerase also can be used for long range PCR; high yields of long products, up to 20 kb from genomic DNA templates and up to 30 kb from lambda DNA templates, are possible with this enzyme.
