Our 5x ready-to-use PCR kit contains Hot Start OmniTaq, made with aptamer-based technology, enabling room temperature reaction set-up.
OmniTaq is a triple mutant of Taq polymerase that makes the enzyme resistant to the inhibitory effects of blood, soil and more. It remains functional in up to 20-25% whole blood, especially in the presence of our enhancer products, or in some concentrations of crude soil extract where other commercial enzymes fail.
This kit can be used for conventional as well as real-time PCR. For real time reactions you may need to add a fluorescent dye as an alternative to probes.
Kits include enzyme and a separate master mix of buffer, and dNTPs.
