HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase, 1,000 U, 10 x rxn buffer with 20 mM MgCl2 from Bioneer, Inc.

HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase is designed to increase specificity and sensitivity in PCR. The HotStart Taq DNA polymerase is inhibited at temperatures lower than 70°C, but is fully activated after the first denaturation step. This prevents the formation of mis-primed products and primer-dimers during the reaction setup process, resulting in improved PCR specificity
