HotStarTaq Plus Master Mix Kit (1000) for 1000 x 20 μl reactions: 12 x 0.85 ml HotStarTaq Plus Master Mix (contains 1000 units of HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase, PCR Buffer with 3 mM MgCl2, and 400 μM of each dNTP), 4 x 0.55 ml CoralLoad Concentrate, 8 x 1.9 ml RNase-Free Water
HotStarTaq Plus Master Mix Kit for fast and highly specific amplification in all applications
- Fast 5-minute enzyme activation time
- Fewer pipetting steps reduces the risk of contamination
- High PCR specificity without the need for optimization
- Optional ready-to-load buffer additive for easier handling
HotStarTaq Plus Master Mix contains HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase, the unique QIAGEN PCR Buffer that minimizes the requirement for optimization, and dNTPs. The HotStarTaq Plus Master Mix Kit provides the same unrivalled highly specific and sensitive PCR as the HotStarTaq Master Mix Kit, but combined with a fast 5-minute enzyme activation time. In addition, CoralLoad Concentrate, containing two gel-tracking dyes, is also provided for improved pipetting visualization and immediate gel-loading of PCR products.
