BlasTaqTM 2X PCR MasterMix is a ready-to-use MasterMix containing abm's BlasTaqTM DNA Polymerase in a uniquely-formulated buffer with gel loading dye. This strategically-engineered, next generation Taq Polymerase provides rapid extension rates and robust performance.With specialized reaction conditions, this polymerase provides increased processivity, yields, and sensitivity, while shortening reaction times by up to 70%, compared to wild-type Taq DNA polymerase. BlasTaqTM has 5'-3' polymerase and 5'-3' exonuclease activities, lacks 3'-5' exonuclease activity, and produces 3'-dA-tailed amplicons. PCR products made with BlasTaqTM can be used with TA cloning vectors.
