Hieff Unicon Hotstart Direct Taq DNA Polymerase is a hotstart DNA polymerase that is resistant to blood and other inhibitors. The product is blocked by antibodies and has good amplification sensitivity and specificity. After heating at the pre-denaturation temperature, the antibody is completely inactivated and the DNA polymerase activity is released. The amplification induced by nonspecific annealing of primers could be effectively inhibited by using the hotstart Taq enzyme.
