TaqDog PCR enzymes can be used in many types of experiments that require a robust and active Taq polymerase. It’s highly stable, and able to be diluted, making it perfect for labs that are looking for a reliable and cost effective PCR enzyme.

TaqDog Hot Start DNA Polymerase is a a great enzyme to consider for dramatically reducing the cost of qPCR experiments. It is ideal for labs performing mouse tail genotyping, and other high volume PCR processing.

TaqDog Hot Start aptamers are synthetically prepared and HPLC purified for both a precise and defined composition which greatly reduces lot-to-lot variation. This also avoids contamination with trace amounts of mammalian DNA or cellular contents that can be associated with antibody preps. TaqDog Hot Start aptamers are inert and immune to proteases. They contain a 3′-cap that preventing their amplification during PCR or even ability to be cloned. Interference of aptamers with downstream applications has not been observed. Moreover, DNA aptamers do not become irreversibly denatured over time (due to high temperatures), but in contrast, allow for more robust amplification and higher yields. Unlike antibody-mediated inhibition, aptamers are able to re-bind and inhibit our polymerase after the completion of a PCR protocol. This is useful in applications where baseline signal is critical and even modest post-PCR activity (for example during long long-temperature “soak” steps common to many protocols) can lead to artifacts in data.
