SpeedSTAR HS DNA Polymerase
SpeedSTAR HS DNA Polymerase is optimized for hot-start, fast PCR, with possible extension time as fast as 10 sec/kb (compared to 60 sec/kb with general enzymes), and amplicon size up to 20 kb. SpeedSTAR reactions can be performed using standard PCR instrumentation.
Overview
- Optimized for fast PCR: amplify a 2-kb fragment in as little as 30 minutes using a standard PCR machine
- Excellent efficiency: robust performance, comparable to high-yield polymerases
- Optimized buffers allow amplification of fragments up to 20 kb
Applications
- Fast PCR: reactions can be completed in two-thirds less time
- Amplification of large DNA fragments
PCR products
The majority of PCR products generated with SpeedSTAR DNA Polymerase will have 3′-A overhangs; therefore, amplification products can be directly cloned into T-vectors. It is also possible to clone amplification products into blunt-ended vectors following blunting and phosphorylation of product ends.
