New England Biolabs expands PCR reagents product line

New England Biolabs, a privately held company that offers recombinant and native enzymes for genomic research, has expanded its line of PCR reagents to include OneTaq and OneTaq Hot Start DNA Polymerases.

In addition, OneTaq Hot Start DNA Polymerase utilizes aptamer technology; New England Biolabs ‘ unique aptamer blocks polymerase activity at temperatures below 45 degrees C, and the polymerase is activated during normal cycling conditions.

Available in convenient product formats, including master mixes, OneTaq shows exceptional performance against other commercially available polymerases, especially when amplifying difficult or GC-rich templates, including routine, AT-rich and GC-rich amplicons.

New England Biolabs said the 3´-5´ exonuclease activity of Deep Vent increases the fidelity and robustness of Taq, while the optimized buffers further enhance yield and product purity, regardless of a template’s GC content.

New England Biolabs product marketing manager Fiona Stewart said OneTaq DNA Polymerase represents a powerful solution to the vast majority of endpoint PCR needs, additionally, OneTaq Hot Start offers the convenience of setting up reactions at room temperature without a separate activation step.
