Invitrogen AccuPrime Taq DNA Polymerase, High Fidelity, provides qualified reagents for the high-fidelity PCR amplification of nucleic acid templates. It includes an enzyme blend of Platinum Taq DNA Polymerase and a proofreading enzyme, plus AccuPrime accessory proteins for improved PCR fidelity, yield, and specificity over other hot-start DNA polymerases.

Features of AccuPrime Taq DNA Polymerase, High Fidelity

  • High specificity and yield for robust PCR amplification
  • 9-fold higher fidelity than Taq DNA polymerase alone
  • Mimimal optimization steps, even with non-optimized primer sets
  • Efficient amplification of targets over a broad size range up to 20 kb

How it works

Pyrococcus species GB-D polymerase is a proofreading enzyme that possesses a 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. Mixing this enzyme with Taq DNA Polymerase increases fidelity and allows amplification of simple and complex DNA templates over a large range of target sizes.

The Platinum antibody complexes with Taq DNA polymerase and inhibits activity at room temperature. Activity is restored after the initial denaturation step, providing an automatic hot start PCR.

The thermostable AccuPrime accessory proteins enhance specific primer-template hybridization during every cycle of PCR, preventing mispriming and enhancing PCR specificity and yield.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

My oligonucleotide does not appear to be the right length when I checked by gel electrophoresis. Why is this?

Oligos should be run on a polyacrylamide gel containing 7 M urea and loaded with a 50% formamide solution to avoid compressions and secondary structures. Oligos of the same length and different compositions can electrophorese differently. dC's migrate fastest, followed by dA's, dT's, and then dG's. Oligos containing N's tend to run as a blurry band and generally have a problem with secondary structure.

The primers I am using worked for PCR initially, but over time, have stopped working. What happened?

Primers should be aliquoted for single use before PCR set-up. Heat just the aliquoted primers to 94 degrees for 1 min. Quick chill the primer on ice before adding to the PCR reaction. Some primers may anneal to themselves or curl up on themselves.

I don't see a pellet in my oligo tube order. Should I ask for a replacement?

The drying method dries the primer in a thin layer along the sidewalls of the tube instead of the bottom, therefore a pellet is not always visible and should still be ready to use.

There is a ball-shaped pellet at the bottom of my oligo tube. What is this and can I still use my oligo?

If the oligo was overheated, it will appear as a “ball”-shaped pellet attached to the bottom of the tube. This should not affect the quality of the oligo, and the oligo should be readily soluble in water.

There is a green color in my lyophilized oligo. Can I still use it?

If an oligo appears green in color, this is most likely due to ink falling into the tube. The oligo should still be fully functional. The color can be removed by doing an ethanol precipitation.
