PrimeSTAR GXL DNA Polymerase amplified targets with up to 74% GC content.
GC-rich products were amplified easily without the addition of special buffers. Lanes 1 and 2: template = human genomic DNA. Lanes 3 and 4: template = T. thermophilus HB8 genomic DNA. Amplicons: APOE (Lane 1, 746 bp, 74% GC content), TGF-β1 (Lane 2, 2,005 bp, 69% GC content), 2,029 bp (Lane 3, 74% GC content), 4,988 bp (Lane 4, 74% GC content). Learn more.
PrimeSTAR Max DNA polymerase amplified fragments up to 4 kb in 10 sec.
Fast PCR was performed with primers designed to amplify products of 0.5 to 7.5 kb. The extension time was 10 seconds. Template = human genomic DNA. Learn more.

Amplifying GC-rich templates
View data on the amplification of GC-rich templates without reaction optimization or inclusion of additives such as DMSO or Betaine.
Amplifying long templates
Long-range PCR with PrimeStar GXL DNA Polymerase was used to amplify the entire BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes for targeted next-gen sequencing.

Cloning shouldn't be work, it should just work ...
With In-Fusion technology, you will be able to perform directional, seamless cloning of any PCR fragment—or multiple fragments—into any linearized vector in a single 15-minute reaction, with >95% cloning efficiency. Our In-Fusion bundles are complete systems that include all of the reagents you need for your cloning experiments: PCR enzyme, competent cells, and a kit for PCR cleanup or gel extraction. We have optimized the reagents to work together to give you the right clone the first time.
