Description

General description

KOD Hot Start Master Mix is a ready-to-use 2X mixture optimized for convenient high-fidelity PCR, which utilizes a DNA polymerase with a low error rate and results in a high degree of accuracy in the replication of the DNA of interest. The mix contains KOD Hot Start DNA Polymerase, two monoclonal antibodies, ultra-pure deoxynucleotides, and reaction buffer with MgSO₄. The monoclonal antibodies inhibit the DNA polymerase and 3′→5′ exonuclease activities at ambient temperatures.

Application

KOD Hot Start Master Mix has been used:

• To yield PCR product for T7 endonuclease I (T7EI) assay.[1]
• For PCR amplification of the DNA isolated from Chrysosporium multifidum, a fungus with antimicrobial activity.[2]
• In the PCR amplification of cDNA.[3]
• In two-step PCR for the amplification of the target sequence followed by its insertion into a vector.[4]

Features and Benefits

• Highest accuracy, yield, and processivity of commercially available proofreading DNA polymerases
• Amplifies genomic DNA templates up to 12 kbp
• Amplifies plasmid and lambda DNA template up to 21 kbp
• Eliminates mispriming and primer-dimer formation
• Convenient ambient-temperature setup compatible with automation
• KOD HotStart^® Buffer ensures optimal PCR performance over a wide range of targets.
• Offers high specificity, fidelity and yield during PCR amplification
• Optimized for ease of use and data reproducibility
• Simplifies PCR set-up and saves time
• High consistency with minimal risk of contamination

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will catalyze the incorporation of 10 nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble form in 30 min at 75°C, in a reaction containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5 at 25°C), 8 mM MgCl₂, 7.5 mM DTT, 50 µg/ml BSA, 150 µM each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP (a mix of unlabeled and [³H]dTTP), and 150 µg/ml activated calf thymus DNA.

Simply add KOD HotStart^® Master Mix to an equal volume of sample containing DNA template and primers. The final diluted reaction contains 1U KOD HotStart^® DNA Polymerase per 50 μl reaction. The smaller available size provides sufficient master mix for 100 (50 μl scale), or 250 (20 μl scale) reactions, while the larger size is adequate for 500 (50 μl scale) or 1250 (20 μl scale) reactions.
