Application

The Expand^™ High Fidelity PCR System is an enzyme blend delivering superior results with twofold higher yield and threefold greater fidelity compared to Taq DNA Polymerase. Choose Expand High Fidelity PCR System for the most sensitive PCR results for genomic targets up to 5 kb in length for:PCRRT-PCRFor maximum convenience, select the 2x concentrated ready-to-use High Fidelity Master.

Features and Benefits

Use one enzyme for all applications. Enjoy high yield, fidelity, and flexibility. Detect PCR products previously undetectable and avoid false negatives. Achieve successful results from small quantities of template DNA.

General description

Expand High Fidelity PCR System is optimized to efficiently amplify DNA fragments up to 5 kb. The Expand High Fidelity PCR System is composed of a special enzyme mix containing thermostable Taq DNA Polymerase and a thermostable DNA polymerase with proofreading activity. The fidelity of DNA synthesis with Expand High Fidelity PCR System shows a threefold increase compared to Taq DNA Polymerase. T/A cloning is recommended.

Legal Information

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

The 5′→3′ polymerase activity of Taq DNA Polymerase and the 3′→5′ exonuclease of the proofreading polymerase combine for improved performance and results; 3′→5′ exonuclease proofreading produces a threefold increase in DNA synthesis fidelity compared to Taq DNA polymerase.
