100 Cycle Certification

The enzyme does not show any nonspecific endo- or exo-nuclease activities. The result of 16S assay on our Crystal Taq™ DNA polymerase showed no bacterial DNA contamination after 100 PCR cycles.

Applications

● Gene amplification (PCR) and Sequencing
● RT-PCR
● Pyrosequencing and Sanger sequencing
● Diagnostics

Benefits

● The lack of background bacterial and animal DNA will minimize non-specific amplification of target regions. Current levels of contamination in commercial competitor reagents reduce the quality and accuracy of whole genome sequencing. The technology behind Crystal Taq will greatly increase the efficiency of random genome amplification for sequencing.
● Higher sensitivity will increase overall accuracy. Crystal Taq will reduce the overall need for repetitive testing. Required fluorescent dye for real time PCR not included, but available for purchase.
● Crystal Taq will create cleaner amplicons resulting in a higher resolution sequencing result.
● Dramatically reduces false positive rates. Lack of background bacterial and animal DNA will increase the accuracy of diagnostics tests.

Detailed Description

Crystal Taq DNA Polymerase is from Thermus aquaticus. It is a thermostable enzyme with 5’-3’ DNA polymerase activity and 5′-3’ exonuclease activity, while lacking 3’-5’  exonuclease (proofreading) activity. The enzyme is free from bacterial and animal DNA. This first truly pure enzyme will greatly aid new generations of sequencing technologies, while being a superior component to pathogen testing in Clinical Medicine, Food-Borne contamination, Quality Assurance, Forensics, Water Treatment, Veterinary & Agriculture and Bioterrorism.
