About this item
A hot-start Taq DNA polymerase modified using a novel modifying reagent, it has a faster activation time and better shelf-life.
- Hot-start Taq polymerase
- Modified using unique hot-start chemistry
- Absolutely no activity at room temperature
- Fast activation: takes less than 2 minutes of heating to activate
- Very stable during storage
Cheetah™ Taq is a chemically modified hot-start Taq DNA polymerase useful for preventing or reducing nonspecific DNA amplification in PCR. Modified using a novel modifying reagent, Cheetah™ Taq represents a major improvement upon AmpliTaq® Gold by having a faster activation time and better shelf-life.
Under standard hot-start conditions (i.e., 94°C in pH 8-9 Tris), Cheetah™ Taq regains both the 3′-5′ polymerase and 5′-exonuclease activities within two minutes. Cheetah™ Taq is also superior to antibody-based hot-start DNA polymerases due to its complete suppression of enzyme activity at room temperature and full recovery of enzyme activity following activation.
