COSMO DNA Polymerase Enzyme
COSMO Taq DNA Polymerase is a thermostable DNA polymerase that catalyses the polymerisation of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5′ -> 3′ direction. COSMO Taq DNA Polymerase is isolated from recombinant E.coli containing the DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus Y-T1. It exhibits its highest activity at pH 9.0 and 72°C. The COSMO buffer included in this product also contains the RED loading buffer, allowing for an easy transition from amplification to gel electrophoresis.
This enzyme is designed for high fidelity PCR for use in research, used in conjunction with our COSMO dNTPs product (WF102600X).
