Long-range PCR products
Reduce the time and effort needed for amplifying your long targets by choosing a polymerase that can go the distance. Our DNA polymerases are optimized for amplifying long targets (up to 48 kb), including repetitive, AT-, or GC-rich sequences. Choose from the Takara LA Taq product family or PrimeSTAR GXL DNA Polymerase.

"Takara LA Taq polymerase worked very well when I tried it on a difficult genomic DNA template. I could not have the same results with another Taq polymerase that I had tried."
—Maria Kokkinaki, GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY
"The LA Taq polymerase worked very well in my genotyping experiments, which always gave the clear bands."
—Yang Mei, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
"The LA Taq worked very well, unfortunately I needed blunt ends on the PCR product. For other PCRs that don't require blunt ends, I will definitely think of using LA Taq."
—Alma Laney, UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS
