BIOTAQ™ is a purified thermostable DNA polymerase offering high yield over a wide range of PCR templates, and is a good choice for routine assays. BIOTAQ is a robust preparation and delivers high yields with minimal background. BIOTAQ possesses 5´-3´ exonuclease activity and leaves an ´A´ overhang such that the PCR product is suitable for effective integration into TA cloning vectors. BIOTAQ is supplied with 10x NH4-based Reaction Buffer, which provides optimal conditions for most experiments. Additional MgCl2 is provided to allow reaction conditions to be adjusted to suit the template.
