GenScript Taq Dna Polymerase Without Mg<Sup>2+</Sup>; 1000U (1000.0U/vial)

Formulation

GenScript Taq DNA Polymerase has been formulated using GenScripts proprietary technology. The enzyme can be shipped at room temperature or even 37°C for seven days without any loss of activity.

Unit Definition

One unit is the amount of enzyme that can incorporate 10 nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 74°C.

10 X Reaction Buffer (without Mg²⁺)

500 mM KCl, 100 mM Tris HCl (pH 9.0 at 25°C), 1% Triton X-100 Buffer. This buffer is optimized for use with 200 µM dNTPs.
Note: If the reaction is performed without this buffer, then add 0.1% Triton X-100 (final concentration) to ensure high activity.

Storage Buffer and Concentration

Taq is delivered in 5 units/µl in 20 mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.1% Triton X-100 and 50% glycerol.

Storage:

-20°C
