Titanium Taq PCR kit

The Titanium Taq PCR Kit contains our high-yield Titanium Taq polymerase blend plus 10X buffer, dNTP mixture, and control DNA template and primers.

Titanium Taq is a mixture consisting of a 5' exonuclease-deficient Taq polymerase and TaqStart Antibody for hot-start PCR. Titanium Taq is suitable for use in all PCR applications and with a wide range of samples, including bacterial and plasmid DNA, cDNA, and complex genomic DNA. It is more sensitive and robust than other polymerases due to its higher solubility and the integrated hot-start antibody, which increases PCR specificity and yield (Kellogg et al. 1994).

Overview

High yield—requires fewer PCR cycles.
Active over wide ranges of Mg²⁺ concentrations—minimizes time spent on optimization.
Specially engineered DNA polymerase—amplifies highly complex templates up to 2 kb, such as mammalian genomic DNA. Also suitable for rare or low-copy targets.
Integrated hot-start antibody for enhanced specificity—minimizes the formation of primer dimers and reduces background, making it suitable for multiplex PCR. Also allows for convenient reaction setup at room temperature.
