Hot Start ZipTaq

Hot Start ZipTaq DNA Polymerase is our fastest polymerase made with aptamer-based technology, enabling room temperature reaction set-up. 

ZipTaq is a Taq polymerase with multiple mutations that make it the fastest enzyme in our collection.  With the addition of one of our PECs, it can tolerate up to 40% blood in the reaction. 

The aptamer binds to the polymerase at sub-cycling temperatures, inactivating the enzyme and preventing spurious amplification.
