Concentrated Taq DNA Polymerase

 

Certain types of PCR, such as RAPD PCR, require high concentrations of Taq DNA Polymerase. However, adding larger volumes of Taq DNA Pol will increase the glycerol concentration in the reaction mix (Taq DNA Polymerase storage buffer contains 50% glycerol to prevent freezing) and high glycerol levels can interfere with PCR. To avoid inadvertently raising glycerol concentrations in the final mix, Taq DNA Polymerase at 15 U/l concentration is recommended.

Unit definition
One unit is the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the incorporation of 10 nanomoles of nucleosides into acid insoluble material per 30 min. at 74C under assay conditions. 10x T.Pol incubation buffer with/without MgCl2 and a 25mM solution MgCl2 are provided.

Storage conditions
20mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 100mM KCl,
0.1mM EDTA, 1mM dithiothreitol,
0.5% Tween 20, 0.5% Nonidet P40,
50% glycerol.

Incubation buffer (1X)
10mM Tris-HCl pH 9.0, 50mM KCl,
1.5mM MgCl2, 0.1% Triton X-100,
0.2 mg/ml BSA

Quality control
Performed on every lot of enzyme:
specific PCR on genomic and phage templates, activity check, absence of ribonucleases, absence of nickases and endonucleases, absence of 3' exonucleases, purity on SDS-PAGE, absence of proteases.
