Understanding HS (HotStart) Taq DNA Polymerase in 60 Seconds

HS-Taq DNA Polymerase (also known as HotStart-Taq DNA Polymerase) contains engineered Taq polymerase and Taq monoclonal antibody, thereby preventing DNA synthesis at room temperature. During the initial DNA denaturation step, the antibody is denatured, releasing the polymerase and allowing DNA synthesis to proceed. HS-Taq DNA Polymerase prevents nonspecific amplification due to mispriming and/or the formation of primer-dimers during PCR assembly.

Features
● Ideal for routine PCR applications
● Higher specificity and sensitivity
● Avoiding nonspecific amplification and enabling room-temperature reaction setup
