Aptamer-Taq DNA polymerase
Aptamer-Taq DNA polymerase is a modification of Combi Taq DNA polymerase (Cat. No. C205-C207) in which DNA aptamer anti-Taq is used instead of anti-Taq monoclonal antibody. When compared to antibody the aptamer has several advantages:
(1) it is not irreversibly denatured at temperature upto 100oC,
(2) has low molecular weight, is prepared synthetically, and has well defined composition,
(3) is not contamined with components of mammalian cells,
(4) is resistant to action of proteases and allows preparation of PCR mixes at room temperature, and
(5) is less expensive.
