PCR is a powerful technique capable of amplifying trace amounts of DNA, and precautions are required to avoid contamination. Amplification reactions should be assembled in a DNA-free environment. Use of aerosol-resistant barrier tips is recommended. Avoid cross-contamination with the primers or template DNA used in individual reactions. PCR products should be analyzed in an area separate from the reaction assembly area.
Platinum® Taq Antibody is a proprietary inhibitor which, when bound to Taq DNA polymerase, inactivates polymerase activity. This reagent provides an automatic 'hot start' for Taq DNA polymerase in PCR. Hot starts are typically used in PCR to increase sensitivity, specificity, and yield while allowing assembly of reactions at ambient temperatures. The extra time, effort, and contamination risks associated with manual hot start procedures are addressed with the use of Platinum® Taq Antibody.
