KAPA2G Fast ReadyMix

Uses

KAPA2G Fast ReadyMix^? has been used in

• Nested PCR (nPCR)
• Routine PCR
• Fast PCR
• Genotyping

General Description

KAPA2G Fast DNA Polymerase is a second-generation (2G) enzyme engineered for higher processivity and speed, offering significantly faster extension rates than wild-type Taq polymerase. In addition to speed, KAPA2G Fast provides higher yields and sensitivity than competitor enzymes across a broad range of targets.
KAPA2G Fast ReadyMix^? PCR Kits are designed for fast PCR, in which total reaction times are 20–70% shorter than those of conventional PCR assays performed with wild-type Taq DNA polymerase. This can be achieved without sacrificing reaction performance, and does not require specialized PCR consumables or thermocyclers.

Biochem/physiol Actions

DNA fragments generated with KAPA2G Fast DNA Polymerase may be used for routine downstream analyses or applications, including restriction enzyme digestion, cloning and sequencing. The fidelity of KAPA2G Fast is similar to that of wild-type Taq; it has an error rate of approximately 1 error per 1.7 x 105 nucleotides. Like wild-type Taq, KAPA2G Fast has 5→3′ polymerase and 5′→3′ exonuclease activities, but no 3′→5′ exonuclease (proofreading) activity.
