MyTaq¢â HS Red DNA Polymerase is a high performance PCR reagent that is powered by antibody-mediated hot-start, specifically designed for fast, highly-specific, hot-start PCR.MyTaq HS Red does not possess polymerase activity during the reaction set-up, thus reducing non-specific amplification including primer-dimer formation.

The advanced formulation of MyTaq HS Red allows fast cycling conditions (fig. 1), considerably reducing the reaction time without compromising PCR specificity or yield (fig. 2). This new enzyme from Bioline is supplied with 5x MyTaq buffer system, a proprietary formulation that saves time and delivers superior results, as it contains dNTPs, MgCl₂ and enhancers at optimal concentrations, thereby removing the need for further optimization.

The specially designed MyTaq Red formulation does not interfere with the PCR reaction and enables users to load samples directly onto a gel after PCR without the need to add loading buffer. The red dye migrates like a 350bp fragment on a 2% agarose TAE gel (or 600bp on a 1% agarose).

MyTaq HS Red only requires only the addition of template, primers and water and so reduces the risk of pipetting errors and contamination, as well the time needed to set-up reactions.
