FastStart High Fidelity PCR System

The FastStart High Fidelity PCR System – an optimized enzyme blend for hot start PCR – combines all the benefits of FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase with 4-fold higher accuracy and the abilty to amplify fragments up to 5 kb.

• Hot Start PCR
• Multiplex PCR
• RT-PCR
• GC-rich template amplification
• Difficult, challenging PCRs
  

The FastStart High Fidelity PCR System is the product of choice for multiplex PCR. Please see the online Application Note “Step-by-Step Protocol for Multiplex PCR with the FastStart High Fidelity PCR System and the PCR Optimization Kit” (Cat. No. 04 788 958 001). As this Note demonstrates, the system amplifies up to 18 PCR fragments simultaneously after the reaction is optimized with the PCR Optimization Kit.

Benefits

• Amplify longer templates.
  The reagent enables the amplification of a variety of DNA and cDNA fragments up to 5 kb.
• Increase fidelity.
  The enzyme blend shows a 4-fold higher fidelity compared to Taq DNA Polymerase and FastStart Taq DNA Polymerase.
• Achieve excellent performance in multiplex PCR.
  The system amplifies multiple PCR fragments simultaneously. For difficult multiplex reactions, optimal performance is obtained in combination with our PCR Optimization Kit.
• Challenge even the most problematic DNA.
  DMSO, a PCR additive that facilitates working with difficult templates, is conveniently supplied with this product.
