B-Bridge Taq DNA Polymerase with red dye is a thermostable recombinant DNA polymerase, which exhibits very high activity in primer extension and other molecular biology applications. Taq contains a red dye which provides easy and quick identification of reactions to which enzyme was added and allows confirmation of complete mixing. The inert dye has no effect on downstream processes. Taq with Red Dye is added directly to the reaction mix and is used in the same manner as standard Taq DNA Polymerase. B-Bridge Taq DNA Polymerase with red dye has both a 5' to 3' DNA polymerase and a 5' to 3' exonuclease activity. The enzyme lacks a 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. Taq DNA Polymerase leaves an A prime overhang, which makes the enzyme ideal for TA cloning. Red Taq Polymerase includes 10x Ammonium Buffer and 10x Combination Buffer.
