Description: NZYTaq DNA polymerase is a recombinant modified form of Taq DNA polymerase purified from Escherichia coli suitable to amplify target DNA sequences up to 3 kb in size. NZYTaq DNA polymerase lacks 3´-5´ exonuclease activity. Resulting polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products have an A overhang and are suitable for cloning with NZYTech´s NZYPCR cloning kit (MB01301 or MB01302).
Storage temperature: NZYTaq DNA polymerase should be stored at -20 °C, in a constant temperature freezer. NZYTaq DNA polymerase will remain stable up to 3 years if stored as specified.
Storage buffer: 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 50% (v/v) glycerol.
Enzyme concentration: 5 U/μl
Reaction buffer (10×): 670 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.8, 160 mM (NH4)2SO4, 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20. Vortex the reaction buffer solution thoroughly after thawing and prior to use. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles will affect the stability of the buffer (the buffer will remain stable at +4 °C up to one month).
Magnesium Chloride solution: 50 mM MgCl2. Provided to allow users to optimize MgCl2 concentrations (1.5-4.0 mM). Vortex the MgCl2 solution thoroughly after thawing and prior to use.
