Storage and Stability
Store the iTaq DNA Polymerase at -20°C in a constant temperature freezer. When stored
under these conditions the polymerase is stable for one year after ship date.
Kit Contents
iTaq DNA Polymerase is suitable for many PCR applications. the antibody-mediated hot-start
employed by iTaq Polymerase sequesters Taq activity prior to the initial PCR denaturation
step. Upon heat activation for three minutes at 95°C, the antibodies denature irreversibly,
releasing fully active Taq DNA polymerase. This enables specific and efficient primer
extension with the convenience of room temperature reaction assembly.
