Description:
LongAmp™ Taq DNA Polymerase is a unique blend of Taq and Deep VentR® DNA Polymerases. The 3´→5´ exonuclease activity of Deep Vent DNA Polymerase increases the fidelity and robust amplification of Taq Polymerase (1). LongAmp Taq DNA Polymerase offers up to six fold higher fidelity than Taq DNA Polymerase alone. A wide range of PCR products can be generated, up to 40 kb from lambda DNA and 30 kb from human genomic DNA.

Source:
An E. coli strain that carries the Taq  DNA Polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus YT-1 and an E. coli strain that carries the Deep Vent® DNA Polymerase gene from Pyrococcus species GB-D.

Applications:
  • Long Range PCR
Reagents Supplied:
LongAmp™ Taq Reaction Buffer Pack (5X)
