OmniTaq 2 LA is a DNA polymerase mixture containing OmniTaq 2, a mutant of Taq DNA polymerase that provides strand-displacement and reverse transcriptase activity. It can be used as the sole enzyme in RT-PCR and RT-LAMP assays. In addition, this enzyme provides 2-3x faster PCR and inhibition-resistance. The Long-Accurate feature allows for amplification of longer products with higher fidelity and accuracy. LA enzymes are not recommended for use with dUTP.
Orders ship with 3mL of 10x Taq Mutant Reaction Buffer. 10x RT-LAMP Reaction Buffer is available upon request.
