The LA Taq DNA Polymerase is a kind of Long PCR Polymerase that synergistically generates long PCR products with greater yield and fidelity than Taq DNA Polymerase alone. The fidelity of PCR with this enzyme is three times higher than with Taq DNA Polymerase. The LA Taq is optimized for the generation of very long amplicons: up to 40 kb with viral DNA and up to 15 kb with genomic DNA templates. The specially formulated LA Taq Buffer protects DNA from depurination and nicking during long thermal cycling. The PCR products generated with the LA Taq DNA Polymerase are mostly 3'-dA tailed, which can be cloned in TA vector.

Features

• Long PCR products
–– up to 40 kb with viral DNA as a template

• Ideal for GC-rich templates up to 85% GC.
• Fidelity is three times higher than with Taq DNA Polymerase.
• High yields.
• Incorporates modified nucleotides.
