HotStart DNA Polymerase
HotStart DNA polymerase inhibits PCR by using pyrophosphate (PPi) to trap Mg2+ ions essential for PCR, then breaking the PPi down by using heat resistant enzyme pyrophosphatase (PPase) as the temperature increases while processing the PCR reaction

▶ Principles of HotStart DNA Polymerase
While divalent cation magnesium (Mg2+) plays an important role in PCR, the pyrophosphate binds with Mg2+ to form a complex that inhibits the PCR.
However, the Mg-PPi complex will decompose into Mg2+ and 2Pi by the thermostable pyrophosphatase (PPase) during the PCR reaction, allowing increased reactivity with the by-product of the digested PPi, 2Pi.
Features and Benefits
- Sensitivity & specificity
Reduced generation of non-specific responses and primer-dimer formation during the mixing of PCR components by inhibiting DNA polymerase activity at the room temperature
- Efficiency
Improved yield of target DNA through its high sensitivity and specificity
- Reproducibility
Reproducible results with uniform quality products for each batch under the ISO 9001 quality system
Application
- HotStart PCR, PCR with complex genomic templates/low copy templates/cDNA
- Multiplex PCR
- Primer extension
- SNP typing
- Real-time PCR using dsDNA Binding dye
- Multiple primer pairs and amplification of low copy template DNA
