PR1MA™ Taq

• Ideal for routine PCR applications as well as genotyping, colony PCR, and fast PCR
• Improved template affinity and solubility for higher enzyme activity and greater yields
• Proprietary buffer optimized for a variety of assay conditions
• Conveniently supplied as a 2X Master Mix or in a 2-tube format of polymerase and separate 5X buffer

PR1MA™ Taq provides superior results for routine applications. Modified to improve DNA-binding, this polymerase offers higher solubility and greater template affinity, resulting in consistently superior performance. PR1MA™ Taq Polymerase exhibits a 5' to 3' nuclease activity, but no 3' to 5' (proofreading) activity and works well with a wide range of DNA templates including GC-rich sequences.

The polymerase is supplied with a 5X buffer containing MgCl2 and a proprietary mix of enhancers (dNTP's not included). For convenience, PR1MA Taq is also available in a ready-to-use 2X Master Mix - just add primers and template DNA. Our "Red Dye" Master Mix incorporates a red-loading dye that allows amplified samples to be loaded directly on an agarose gel.  The red color aids in visualization during pipetting, and higher density of the buffer ensures that the samples will drop into the gel wells.

PR1MA™ SmartGlow™ DNA Safe Stain

• Replaces hazardous Ethidium Bromide (EtBr)
• Better sensitivity than EtBr
• Detect as little as 0.1ng of DNA
• Two types available
• PS Pre Stain
• LD Loading Dye
• Excitation by UV light or blue light
• Compatible with Accuris SmartBlue™ Transilluminator
• Ships at ambient temperature (stored at 4°C)

PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS (Pre-Stain) can be used as a direct replacement for Ethidium Bromide in agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The stain emits green fluorescence when bound to dsDNA or ssDNA and emits red fluorescence when bound to RNA. PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS exhibits excitation peaks at 290 nm and 490 nm, allowing it to be used with UV and blue light.

Protocol:

• Prepare 100 mL of agarose or polyacrylamide solution.
• Add 5 µL of PR1MA™ SmartStain™ to the gel solution before pouring gels.
• For enhanced results, add PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS to the running buffer at a ratio of 5 µL per 100 mL. Adding PR1MA™ SmartStain™ PS to the running buffer will result in increased sensitivity and better detection of small quantities of nucleic acid.
• After electrophoresis is complete, view the gel using a UV or blue light illuminator

• Enzyme of choice for TA cloning

PR1MA™ Taq Plus, an optimized blend of our Hot Start Taq and a proofreading polymerase, provides 5X better fidelity than wild-type Taq and increased enzyme activity. It is the perfect choice for GC and AT rich templates, low copy number, and long PCR.

PR1MA™ Taq Start Taq DNA Polymerase 

PR1MA™ Taq Plus Master Mix, 2X Concentration

 
PR1MA™ Hot Start Taq

• Exceptional sensitivity for low-copy PCR
• Ideal for multiplex PCR and amplification of GC-rich DNA
• Same enhanced features as PR1MA Taq Polymerase
• Buffer optimized for fast cycling and reproducibility

Engineered for controlled polymerase activity, PR1MA Hot Start Taq is bound with a monoclonal antibody that blocks enzyme activity. This allows reactions to be set up at room temperature without the risk of non-specific amplification.

When samples are ready, the reaction mixture is heated to 95°C to denature the antibody and initiate the reaction. Similar to the standard PR1MA Taq, Hot Start Taq is provided with a 5X buffer, or in a ready-to-use 2X Master Mix. The Master Mix can be ordered with or without an incorporated red gel loading dye.  The Red Dye Master Mix incorporates a red-loading dye that allows amplified samples to be loaded directly on an agarose gel.  The red color aids in visualization during pipetting, and higher density of the buffer ensures that the samples will drop into the gel wells.

PR1MA™ Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase

Is amplification carry-over contamination ruining your assay sensitivity?

PR1MA™ Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (cUNG) is a recombinant, thermolabile enzyme that removes uracil from DNA. It is ideal for preventing carry over contamination during RNA or DNA amplification reactions that substitute dUTP for dTTP. cUNG is the only commercially available UNG that is completely and irreversibly inactivated by moderate heat treatment, unlike bacterial versions of the enzyme. Cod UNG treatment in combination with targeted pre-amplification using dUTP provides a simple and efficient solution to eliminate carry-over contamination and the generation of false positives and inaccurate quantification.

• Optimal temperature: 37 °C
• Heat inactivation: 55 °C for 5 minutes
• Enables contamination control in PCR and other amplification methods
• Does not degrade product after inactivation, enabling downstream use of the amplicon
