Get the best-in-class and high-quality Taq DNA Polymerase for your laboratory from MBP Inc.’s collection!
Taq DNA polymerase is the most common enzyme used for PCR amplification. This enzyme is extremely heat-resistant and has a half-life of 40 minutes at 95 degrees Celsius. At the optimal temperature, which is 72 degrees Celsius, the nucleotides are incorporated at a rate of 2–4 kilobases per minute.
Polymerases are active over a broad temperature range (Gelfand and White, 1990). If DNA, primers, and Taq polymerase are mixed, then the mispriming and elongation can occur at room temperature.

Uses of Taq Polymerase:
DNA Amplification: Taq polymerase is a crucial component in PCR, where it synthesizes new DNA strands by extending primers along a DNA template. This enzyme can withstand the high temperatures (around 70-75°C) needed for DNA denaturation, making it suitable for PCR.
DNA Cloning: Taq polymerase is used in the amplification of specific DNA fragments for subsequent cloning into plasmids or other vectors, a common technique in genetic engineering.
Advantages of Taq Polymerase:
Thermal Stability: Taq polymerase is highly heat-stable and can withstand the high-temperature cycles used in PCR. This property is due to its origin in a thermophilic bacterium. It can endure the denaturation step (usually around 95°C) without becoming denatured itself.
Single-Step Reaction: Unlike some other DNA polymerases, Taq polymerase has 5′ to 3′ exonuclease activity, which means it doesn’t have proofreading capabilities. While this can lead to a higher error rate in DNA replication, it simplifies PCR reactions and makes them suitable for certain applications, such as mutation detection.
Convenience: Taq polymerase is widely available commercially and is relatively affordable, making it accessible for many researchers.
Versatility: Taq polymerase is used in a variety of PCR applications, including standard PCR, colony PCR, RT-PCR (reverse transcription PCR), and more.
