Product Description

ExoTaq™ DNA Polymerase presents an exonuclease-deficient variant of the popular Taq DNA Polymerase, offering improved fidelity and stability compared to the full-length enzyme. This specialized polymerase is designed to accurately amplify DNA fragments while maintaining stability under rigorous thermal cycling conditions. Supplied with the 10X ExoTaq™ Reaction Buffer, meticulously formulated to optimize enzymatic activity, this kit provides researchers with a reliable tool for PCR experiments demanding superior performance.

With its robust formulation and advanced enzyme engineering, ExoTaq™ DNA Polymerase ensures efficient and specific DNA amplification, even across longer target sequences. Derived from the thermophilic organism Thermus aquaticus YT-1, this enzyme is produced by a recombinant E. coli strain carrying the ExoTaq™ gene, ensuring consistent and reproducible results.

Product FAQs
What is the difference between Taq DNA Polymerase and ExoTaq™ DNA Polymerase?

ExoTaq™ DNA Polymerase is an exonuclease-deficient variant of Taq DNA Polymerase, offering enhanced fidelity and thermostability compared to the full-length enzyme. This modification makes ExoTaq™ ideal for applications demanding high-quality DNA amplification.

How should I store the ExoTaq™ DNA Polymerase Kit?

The kit should be stored at temperatures between -25°C to -15°C to maintain enzyme stability and activity.

Can ExoTaq™ DNA Polymerase be used for genotyping experiments?

Yes, ExoTaq™ DNA Polymerase is suitable for genotyping experiments requiring high-fidelity DNA amplification.

What is the recommended cycling conditions for PCR with ExoTaq™ DNA Polymerase?

The recommended cycling conditions may vary depending on the specific application and target sequence. However, typical cycling parameters include initial denaturation at 94°C for 30 seconds, followed by denaturation at 94°C for 30 seconds, annealing at 50-65°C for 30 seconds, extension at 72°C for 60 seconds per kilobase, and a final extension at 72°C for 5 minutes.
