High Fidelity Hot Start Pol is based on a blend of Taq DNA polymerase and a proofreading enzyme specially designed for highly accurate and efficient amplification. The additional hotstart function provides improved specificity and sensitivity when amplifying lowcopy-number targets in complex backgrounds or when prolonged room-temperature set up is required. The polymerase activity is blocked at ambient temperature and switched on automatically at the onset of the initial denaturation. The thermal activation prevents the extension of nonspecifically annealed primers and primer-dimer formation at low temperatures during PCR setup. The enzyme shows excellent results with extremely long (up to 20 kb), GC-rich or other difficult templates. The enzyme blend includes a highly processive 5’3’ DNA polymerase and possesses a 5’3’ polymerization-dependent exonuclease replacement activity. Its inherent 3’5’ exonuclease proofreading activity results in a greatly increased fidelity of DNA synthesis compared to Taq polymerase. The enzyme is highly purified and free of bacterial DNA.

 

High Fidelity Hot Start Pol requires no prolonged heating or denaturing step. The polymerase inhibiting antibodies are released at the increased temperature of the initial denaturation.

 

High Fidelity Pol is characterized by a 4-fold higher fidelity compared to Taq polymerase.

ERHigh Fidelity Pol= 3.4 x 10-6

The error rate (ER) of a PCR reaction is calculated using the equation ER = MF/(bp x d), where MF is the mutation frequency, bp is the number of base pairs of the fragment and d is the number of doublings d (2d = amount of product / amount of template).

Recommended cycling conditions:

**The annealing temperature depends on the melting temperature of the primers used

***The elongation time depends on the length of the fragments to be amplified. A time of 1 min/kb is recommended.

For optimal specificity and amplification an individual optimization of the recommended parameters may be necessary for each new template DNA and/or primer pair.
