Taq DNA Polymerase is a highly thermostable DNA polymerase from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus. The enzyme catalyzes 5"→3" synthesis of DNA, has no detectable 3"→5" exonuclease (proofreading) activity and possesses low 5"→3" exonuclease activity. In addition, Taq DNA Polymerase exhibits deoxynucleotidyl transferase activity, which frequently results in the addition of extra adenines at the 3"-end of PCR products. Recombinant Taq DNA Polymerase is the ideal tool for standard PCR of purified DNA template.

Taq LA DNA polymerase is a blend of Taq DNA polymerase and one enzyme with proofreading feature. It can be used for a longer amplicon. 

Taq and Taq LA Mix are available as a ready-to-use 2X mixture of DNA polymerase, salts, magnesium and dNTPs for setting up a trouble-free PCR reaction and there is the choice of an inert green dye, used for direct gel loading. All you have to do is to add template, specific primers and water (Click here)
