Product Information

2x PCR TaqNova-RED is a 2x concentrated, ready-to-use PCR master mix which facilitates an easy and rapid PCR reaction set up. The 2x PCR TaqNova-RED solution contains a reaction buffer, magnesium chloride, dNTPs and a thermostable Taq DNA polymerase. In order to set-up the PCR reaction, all that needs adding to the master mix is the template, the primer set and water. This convenient 2x PCR TaqNova-RED master mix reduces the time required to set-up PCR reactions and decreases the possibility of contamination, particularly when preparing large numbers of reactions. Moreover, the master mix is supplemented with an inner dye and a density reagent, which allows for direct loading of PCR products to a gel.
