New Phire® Plant Direct PCR Kit from Finnzymes

Finnzymes announces new Phire® Plant Direct PCR Kit, an optimized kit designed to amplify DNA directly from plant samples.The kit is based on Phire® Hot Start DNA Polymerase, a highly engineered enzyme with a unique DNA binding domain.

Phire Hot Start DNA Polymerase is extremely robust and tolerant of many PCR inhibitors present in plant material. A tiny amount of sample material is sufficient for PCR. Two fast and simple protocols are provided for different purposes, both requiring minimal hands-on time. The kit includes a complete set of optimized reagents, sampling tools and control primers. When combined with Finnzymes Piko® Thermal Cycler and UTW® vessels, PCR protocols can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.
