热启动 PCR 是传统聚合酶链式反应(PCR)技术的一种改良版本,它通过减少非特异性扩增来提高反应的特异性和灵敏度。在热启动 PCR 中,由于存在抑制剂或酶经过修饰,聚合酶在较低温度下会保持失活状态,从而防止引物在低温下进行延伸。当温度升高时,抑制剂会被释放,扩增反应随即启动。

Benchmarking data on Platinum II Taq Hot-Start DNA Polymerase

Engineered Platinum II Taq Hot-Start DNA Polymerase enables fast cycling of assays in as few as 30 minutes. The universal primer annealing temperature enables cycling of shorter and longer amplicons together using the same protocol.

Process flowchart depicts time savings co-cycling multiple targets in a single protocol

Figure 3. Time saving enabled by assay co-cycling. PCR assays using conventional PCR reagents require specific protocols for amplification of each DNA fragment because of the different primer annealing temperatures and extension steps. Therefore, with traditional PCR reagents, multiple targets often cannot be amplified together in the same PCR run. With Platinum II Taq Hot-Start DNA Polymerase, different PCR assays can be cycled together using one protocol with a universal primer annealing temperature and the extension step selected for the longest fragment to be amplified. Moreover, Platinum II Taq Hot-Start DNA Polymerase is a fast DNA polymerase, delivering PCR results in as little as 30 minutes.

“We had a very troublesome genotyping primer set that gave us bands in the NTC. Then we tried the Platinum II Taq [DNA Polymerase] and it worked the first time! We also save a ton of time on the PCR for this primer set since we no longer have to do two step PCR!”
