FAQs
What makes PFU DNA polymerase better than Taq for cloning?
PFU DNA polymerase has proofreading activity, which corrects errors during amplification. This results in higher accuracy, making it ideal for cloning where sequence fidelity is critical.
Can I use this polymerase for standard PCR?
Yes, but it’s optimized for high-fidelity applications. For routine PCR, Taq polymerase may be more cost-effective.
Does this product include dNTPs?
Yes, the formulation includes dNTPs, so you don’t need to add them separately.
What’s the shelf life of this enzyme?
When stored at -20°C, it remains stable for up to 12 months. Avoid frequent thawing to preserve activity.
Is this suitable for long-range PCR?
Yes, its high processivity makes it effective for amplifying longer DNA fragments.
