CSR ROBUST DNA Polymerase is a highly efficient next-generation DNA polymerase offering enhanced processivity and yield compared to Taq DNA polymerase. This enzyme enables shorter extension times and fewer cycles to achieve equivalent levels of amplification. It also features significantly improved resistance to various PCR inhibitors, chemical denaturants, and increased thermal stability, maintaining activity even after 1 hour at 95 °C. Its enhanced robustness allows for the use of lower-quality template DNA and simplifies DNA purification protocols. The ROBUST DNA Polymerase utilizes aptamer-based hot start technology, providing reversible inhibition that prevents primer-dimer formation and non-specific amplification, enabling reaction setup at room temperature.
Hot-Start Technology
The CSR ROBUST DNA Polymerase contains an aptamer based Hot Start technology that prevents amplification during PCR setup and minimizes the amplification of primer-dimer and nonspecific products. Initial incubation at 94 - 95 °C is NOT required. The aptamer contains a 3’ cap that prevents its amplification and ensures no interference with cloning or any downstream analysis.
