Pfu 2x Master Mix 
Pfu DNA Polymerase 2x master mix is ready to use premix which contains Pfu DNA Polymerase, dNTPs, MgCl2 and stabilizers with optimized reaction buffer. It has been optimized for routine PCR applications. Pfu DNA Polymerase is a heat stable DNA polymerase which has 5' 3' DNA polymerase and 3' 5' exonuclease (proofreading) activities. Pfu DNA polymerase retains the high fidelity, sensitivity and processivity with an error rate six-fold lower than Taq DNA polymerase, and significantly lower than the error rates of most other proofreading enzymes or DNA polymerase mixtures. Pfu 2x Master Mix product is supplied with the unique Intact Genomics 5x Magic Enhancer that enables efficient amplification of GC rich templates up to 84%.

Quality Control 
Quality control is performed following the production of each new lot of product to ensure that it meets the quality standards and specifications designated for the product. Each lot is repeatedly compared side-by-side with leading competitors to ensure our products outperform the competitor before product launching.
