Taq98® for Hot Start PCR

Amplify your toughest DNA templates with Taq98® Hot Start 2X Master Mix – minimize non-specific amplification.

Extreme thermostability. Cycle at 98°C to denature the toughest templates. The added PCR enhancer improves amplification and thermostability to give you the best PCR product possible.

Hot Start function eliminates Primer Dimer formation! Robust hot-start technology virtually eliminates unwanted products such as primer dimers that can result from non-specific amplification. Worry free set up of Taq98 reactions at room temp.

Tough PCR made simple: Templates with tough structure, such as promoter regions, can be hard to reliably amplify (Figure 1, C. fimi gDNA). GC-rich templates can be just as difficult (figure 2). Taq98 is the best option for taking control of your amplification.

Easy to use. Taq98 comes with everything you need all in one vial. Just add your primers and template!

Figure 1. Taq98™ Hot Start is compared with other common hot start products in amplifying eight difficult templates from human genomic DNA.

Figure 2.Taq98 shows superior performance in amplifying a selection of genes from Cellumonas Fimi genomic DNA (~75% GC). Other enzymes show only extremely weak amplification or primarily primer dimers, in contrast with Taq98 which demonstrates robust amplification and minimal spurious banding.
