Taq Plus is a mixture of Taq and Pfu. Taq Plus, which is used to improve the reliability and yield of conventional primer extension reaction. Taq Plus has two following advantages over Taq: (1) high fidelity with an error frequency 1.6/106 (or 0.0016/103) during DNA synthesis. (2) Taq Plus increases the efficiency of polymerization reaction, resulting in a great percentage of extenuation reaction completion up to 10 kb to 30 kb. Pfu has a temperature optimum between 72-780C and remains > 95% active following 1-hour incubation at 950C.
Unit Definition
