General description
FastStart ™ Taq DNA Polymerase is a versatile enzyme that can be used in a wide variety of applications and on multiple instrument platforms. This modified thermostable recombinant Taq DNA polymerase is inactive at temperatures below +75 ° C but is activated by a 2-4 minute heat activation step at +95 ° C. Since it is inactive at low temperatures, FastStart ™ Taq DNA polymerase cannot elongate nonspecific primer-template hybrids that can form at those temperatures. FastStart ™ Taq DNA Polymerase is an ideal tool for hot-start PCR because the enzyme remains inactive during PCR setup and prior to the initial denaturation step.
Application
FastStart ™ Taq DNA Polymerase is a chemically modified, thermostable form of recombinant Taq DNA polymerase. The enzyme is inactive at +15 to + 25 ° C during PCR setup and then activated at + 95 ° C during initial denaturation. This enzyme offers superior results due to its unique enzyme design and optimized damping system. FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase is an ideal tool for hot-start PCR because the enzyme remains inactive during the PCR setup and before the initial denaturation step. It can be requested for:
- PCR
- Multiplex PCR
- Difficult templates, for example, secondary structures or GC-rich sequences
- Automated PCR, e.g. room temperature handling
- Hot start PCR up to 3 kb
- Hot start RT-PCR up to 3 kb
- Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-qPCR)
- Bisulfite specific PCR
Use FastStart ™ Taq DNA Polymerase, a DNA pack with a ready-to-use PCR nucleotide mix. For added convenience, select ready-to-use FastStart ™ PCR Master Concentrate 2 ×.
Features and Benefits
FastStart Taq DNA polymerase is a modified recombinant Taq DNA polymerase, inactive at temperatures below + 75 ° C. The kit includes an optimized PCR buffer and a GC-RICH solution to manipulate a wide range of templates. High enzyme stability allows pipetting using robotic stations.

Quality
The function of each lot is tested using human genomic DNA and primers specific for the 365 bp fragment of the human tPA gene and a 284 bp fragment of the Apo E gene with a GC content of 74%. Each lot is also tested for the absence of Exo and endonucleases and cleavage activity.
Definition of unit
1 μg of M13mp9ss DNA, 0.3 μg of the M13 sequencing primer and 0.1 μCi of α-32P dCTP are incubated with varying amounts of FastStart Taq DNA polymerase units in 50 μl of incubation buffer at +65 ° C for 60 min. The amount of incorporated dNTPs is determined by precipitation with trichloroacetic acid.
