Hot Start ZipTaq DNA Polymerase is our fastest polymerase made with aptamer-based technology, enabling room temperature reaction set-up.
ZipTaq is a Taq polymerase with multiple mutations that make it the fastest enzyme in our collection. With the addition of one of our PECs, it can tolerate up to 40% blood in the reaction.
The aptamer binds to the polymerase at sub-cycling temperatures, inactivating the enzyme and preventing spurious amplification.
