Thermo Scientific™ Phire Green Hot Start II DNA Polymerase

Description

Phire Hot Start II DNA Polymerase is significantly faster, extremely robust, and also capable of amplifying long DNA fragments with high yields. These features are achieved through advanced protein engineering of the polymerase. It incorporates a unique double-stranded DNA binding domain which allows short extension times (10 to 15 s/kb), improves yields, and increases fidelity 2-fold compared to Taq DNA polymerase.

The hot start modification of Phire Hot Start II DNA Polymerase is based on the same Affibody inactivation technology utilized by Phusion Hot Start II DNA Polymerase. This technology increases the specificity of the PCR reaction with no additional time required for initial activation of the enzyme.

New Phire Green format is a combination of Phire Hot Start II DNA Polymerase and 5X Phire Green Buffer. The buffer includes a density reagent and tracking dyes for direct loading of PCR products on a gel. The colored buffer does not interfere with enzyme performance and is compatible with downstream applications such as DNA sequencing, ligation and restriction digestion.
