AZtaq™ DNA Polymerase
OverView
AZtaq™ DNA Polymerase is a high-quality DNA polymerase, originating form Thermus aquaticus. Being highly thermostable, AZtaq is ideal for use in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications.
The enzyme catalyses the synthesis of a complementary DNA strand using a primed DNA or cDNA strand as template. It possesses 5’-3’ exonuclease activity while lacking 3’-5’ proofreading activity.
AZtaq is compatible with the use of dUTP, enabling highly efficient removal of carry-over contamination with Cod UNG.
Key Features
- Excellent qPCR Performance
- Compatible with dUTP
- Thermostable
Applications
- PCR/qPCR
Figures

A serial dilution of M13KO7 DNA was used as template for qPCR amplification using specific primers together with a fluorescently labelled hydrolysis probe detecting the M13v1.1 target. Data showing amplification plots (A) and standard curve (B) for the qPCR reactions containing from 1 000 000 down to 1 copy of M13v1.1 target DNA, in triplicate measurements.
