Maximo m-Superhot Taq DNA Polymerase

Superior Taq Polymerase for Real Time PCR and Hot-Start PCR, low-copy number PCR, PCR of difficult templates, Hot-Start activity (only 5 min initial denaturation). The enzyme is developed to enhance the specificity, sensitivity and yield of DNA amplification. The enzyme provides a convenient setting up at room temperature

Description:
Maximo M-Superhot Taq DNA for qPCR and Hot-Start-PCR is an optimized mixture of a high processive Taq DNA Polymerase and special inhibitors to Taq DNA for real time PCR. The enzyme is a thermostable DNA polymerase that possesses a 5´→3´ polymerase activity and a double-stranded specific 5´→3´ exonuclease activity. The enzyme consists of a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 94kDa. It is developed for real time PCR or as basis enzyme for  real time PCR diagnostics systems.

Features:
Maximo M-Superhot Taq DNA Polymerase for qPCR is designed for Real-Time PCR and Hot-start PCR. A special inhibitor suppresses the reaction at room temperature until after the first denaturation step. This prevents primer-dimers and other artefacts. Using the enzyme there is no need to adjust the existing standard PCR protocol.

Applications:
– Hot Start and real time PCR
– Multiplex PCR
– Amplification of complex genomic and cDNA templates
– no primer-dimers and other artêfacts; inactive at room temperature
– short activation time for real time PCR
– enhanced PCR sensitivity

Concentration: 5 u/µl

Stability tests / Quality control / Comparison

Use your existing and optimized protocol. In contrast to chemically modified Taq DNA pol. where the first denaturation step needs up to 15 min, Maximo M-Superhot Taq for Real Time PCR does not need a prolonged heating or denaturation time and works excellent basis enzyme for real time PCR.

Note: 
– vortex all solutions carefully before using
– add the enzyme after Template DNA
– may you have to optimize the MgCl₂ concentration for best result

Note:
In case of low amount of DNA template, additionally cycles may be used
