2xHotStart Taq PCR MasterMix is a 2xconcentrated, optimized mixture composed of HotStat Taq DNA ploymerase, dNTPs,MgCl2,reaction buffer,PCR reaction enhancer, optimizer and stabilizer. The advantanges of 2xHotStart PCR MasterMix include high convenience,sensitivity,specificity and stability. It minimizes man-made errors during PCR operating process. HotStart inhibitor blocks the substrate binding size of HotStart Taq DNA polymerases in a temperature-dependeant manner inactive
polymerase-inhibitor complexes are formed at temperatures < 40C,where the afinity of HotStart Taq DNA polymerase is higher than the binding affinity of the template DNA. Between 40C and 55C the HotStart inhibitor competes with the template DNA for binding to the Taq DNA polymerase, thereby shofting the binding equilibrium towards complex formation with only target-specific primered template DNA. This minimizes the non-specific a amplification in PCR and ensures high sensitivity and specificity.
