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.
AmpliTaq Gold 360 PCR Master Mix contains everything required for successful PCR amplification in one convenient package–all components are premixed and premeasured.
Invitrogen Platinum Taq DNA Polymerase is a convenient and reliable 'hot start' thermostable DNA polymerase for PCR that provides enhanced specificity over that of Taq DNA Polymerase.
