In hot start PCR, key reagents are prevented from reacting in the PCR mixture until optimal temperatures are met. This reduces non-specific DNA amplification that occurs naturally at lower temperatures, increasing product yield, specificity, and sensitivity.
The AccuPrime Taq DNA Polymerase System provides reagents for amplification of nucleic acid templates with an antibody-mediated, hot-start protocol for improved PCR specificity over other hot-start DNA polymerases.
