Unit definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyse the incorporation of 10 nanomoles of dNTPs into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 74°C.

– 2 x 1.25 mL HotBegan™ Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase MasterMix, which includes HotBegan™ Hot Start Taq DNA Polymerase (0.1 U/μL), 2x PCR Buffer, 0.4 mM of each dNTP, 4 mM Mg2+, 4% Glycerol.
– 2 x 1.25 mL Nuclease-free water.

• High-specificity and diagnostic PCR.

• Low-copy DNA target amplification.

• Multiplex PCR and complex templates.

• Routine PCR workflows requiring accuracy.

• Educational and research applications.

• Each batch is tested for specificity, activity, and absence of DNase/RNase contamination, ensuring consistent PCR yields and reproducible results.

• Include an initial activation step at 95 °C for 2–10 min.

• Mix gently before use; avoid vigorous shaking.

• Store aliquots to prevent repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

• Shipped in: Gel pack.
• Storage: -20 °C.

Q1: What advantage does the hot-start mechanism offer?
It prevents enzyme activity at room temperature, avoiding primer–dimer and nonspecific amplification.

Q2: Can it be used for multiplex PCR?
Yes. It provides excellent specificity and reproducibility in multiplex assays.

Q3: Is it compatible with dye-based detection?
Yes. It can be used in combination with loading dye or visualization reagents.
