Hot-start DNA Polymerase with a unique 30-day stability at room temperature for your everyday PCR needs.
A chemically modified hot-start version of the thermostable Taq DNA polymerase FIREPol®. This enzyme is activated only by pre-incubation at 95°C, preventing any unspecific polymerase activity at lower temperatures during reaction set-up.
Increased specificity and sensitivity
Reduced primer-dimer formation
Reaction set-up and shipment without ice
HOT FIREPol® is inactive at room temperature and is activated by a 15 min incubation step at 95°C. This enables hot-start PCR and minimizes mispriming and extension from non-specifically annealed primers and primer-dimers. Recommended for routine applications (fragment up to 5 kb).
