Thermo Scientific Phusion Plus DNA Polymerase is a hot-start, high-fidelity DNA polymerase that brings together protein fusion technology and universal primer annealing. It is a Pyrococcus-like proofreading DNA polymerase fused to a processivity-enhancing domain, enabling Phusion Plus DNA Polymerase to generate PCR sequences with high accuracy, sensitivity, and inhibitor tolerance.
• High fidelity—provides >100X higher sequence accuracy than Taq polymerase
• Convenient setup—enables a universal annealing temperature of 60°C in PCR
• Enhanced specificity—hot-start mechanism reduces non-specific amplification and primer degradation
• Benchtop stability—automation enabled due to 24-hour stability of assembled reactions
• High inhibitor tolerance—works with DNA of suboptimal purity
The novel Phusion Plus reaction buffer includes proprietary additives that stabilize primer/template duplexes during the annealing step at 60°C. This unique buffer formulation increases PCR specificity without the need to optimize annealing temperature for each primer pair, helping save time and avoid mistakes in PCR runs. Furthermore, with Phusion Plus DNA Polymerase and its universal annealing feature, different PCR reactions can be cycled together using the same protocol.
