See what our customers are saying about PrimeSTAR GXL DNA Polymerase!
This enzyme allowed me to amplify the full-length of some 4+kb cDNA that was not successfully amplified with the other company's conventional Taq DNA polymerase. Both specificity and capability to amplify long sequences seem to be superior. We already ordered this product. Thank you for providing the sample prior to make a decision."
—Katsuhiro Kita, WEILL CORNELL MEDICAL COLLEGE
This is a good product that is reasonably priced. I am hoping to have grant fundong by the fall of 2013, and by then I plan to use this products in my research."
—Farid Ahmed, GEM TOX LABS
We are using Expand Long Template kit for our fusion PCRs. we have tried many other enzymes but have not had any success. PrimeSTAR® GXL DNA Polymerase performed better than our existing polymerase."
