Product Description

The SparkTaq™ MasterMix Kit and SparkTaq™ PCR Foundation Kit deliver a highly sensitive hot-start PCR format suitable for both DNA and cDNA templates. Offering a 4X concentrated master mix, these kits enable increased input sample volumes, enhancing sensitivity for diverse targets. The hot-start mechanism ensures specificity by eliminating nonspecific amplification from the first cycle, guaranteeing reproducible results. The innovative formulations include separate vials of orange and blue tracers, allowing optional visual tracking during setup, while the adaptable PCR Buffer composition enables ultra-fast cycling conditions and stringent primer-annealing over a broad temperature range without the need for optimization. Guard protection enhances specificity and sensitivity, enabling detection down to a single target molecule. The optional tracers facilitate correct pipetting and efficient gel loading, enhancing workflow efficiency. With stable reactions at room temperature during and after setup, the SparkTaq™ MasterMix Kit provides a versatile solution for PCR with ultrafast cycling and up to 6 months of storage at 2-8°C, making it an ideal choice for robust and efficient PCR performance across various applications.
