KlenTaq LA PCR Master Mix

Inhibition-resistant Taq Pols & Master Mixes

- Inhibition-Resistant Taq DNA Polymerases are obtained by molecular engineering through mutagenesis of DNA polymerase gene to render enzymes resistant to PCR inhibitors such as blood, plasma, serum, soil, plant, water, chocolate, cheese and milk.
- Proven applications include forensics, environmental testing, agriculture and clinical diagnostics.
- Up to 40% whole blood, plasma or serum are tolerated and varying amounts of soil, plant and inhibitory foods.
- Provides superior amplification, even on damaged or degraded DNA templates.
- DNA extraction is often unnecessary, saving time and enabling amplification from minute quantities of DNA.
- Can tolerate more PCR inhibitors when combining with PCR enhancers.

KlenTaq or KlenTaq LA Mix is a pre-made 2X mixture containing KlenTaq or KlenTaq LA DNA polymerase, salts, magnesium, and dNTPs, which simplifies PCR reactions. You only need to add the template, specific primers, and water to save time and minimize pipetting errors.

The 2X KlenTaq or KlenTaq LA Mix is recommended for standard PCR applications. The mix consists of KlenTaq or KlenTaq LA DNA polymerase (for amplifying longer fragments) and a novel buffer system that delivers high yield PCR amplification across a wide range of templates. It has been designed to produce more robust amplification than other commonly used mixes, making it suitable for challenging templates and for use in the presence of some PCR inhibitors.
