Thermo Scientific™ DreamTaq PCR Master Mixes (2X)
Description
Thermo Scientific DreamTaq PCR Master Mix (2X), available in colorless and green formats, is a ready-to-use solution containing DreamTaq DNA Polymerase, optimized DreamTaq buffer, MgCl2, and dNTPs. This pre-mixed formulation saves time and reduces contamination due to the fewer pipetting steps required for PCR setup.
The master mix retains all features of DreamTaq DNA Polymerase and is capable of robust amplification up to 6 kb from genomic DNA and up to 20 kb from viral DNA. It ensures higher sensitivity, longer PCR products, and higher yields compared to conventional Taq DNA polymerase. Extensive optimization of reaction conditions is not required.
DreamTaq Green PCR Master Mix (2X) additionally includes 2X DreamTaq Green Buffer with a density reagent and two dyes for monitoring electrophoresis progress.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The error rate of DreamTaq DNA Polymerase is the same as that of Taq DNA Polymerase: 2.2x10^-5 errors per nt per cycle.
Dream Taq PCR Master Mix and Taq PCR Master Mix can be used for direct PCR from bacterial colonies. Simply scrape a tiny amount of a single colony and transfer to a PCR-tube, prefilled with the master mix. Always use at least 3 min at 95 degrees C for initial denaturation.
