SpeedSTAR HS DNA Polymerase is optimized for fast PCR and does not require specialized PCR equipment. With an extension rate as fast as 10 sec/kb (compared to 60 sec/kb with standard Taq DNA polymerase), SpeedSTAR DNA polymerase dramatically reduces total reaction time and can be used with standard PCR machines.
SpeedSTAR HS DNA Polymerase includes two optimized buffers, Fast Buffer I and II, to provide efficient amplification across a wide size range (up to 20 kb) with less optimization than other polymerases. The antibody-mediated hot-start formulation provides high specificity. A dNTP mixture also is supplied with the polymerase.
