Phusion Flash 高保真 PCR 预混液

Phusion Hot Start II High-Fidelity PCR Master Mix is a 2X ready-to-use solution based on Phusion Hot Start II DNA Polymerase. It is designed for the highest fidelity (52X Taq) and specificity. Phusion Flash High-Fidelity PCR Master Mix is based on a modified Phusion Hot Start II DNA Polymerase, which allows for extremely short cycling times and features somewhat lower fidelity (25X Taq).

Phusion DNA Polymerases generate blunt end products; therefore, blunt end cloning is recommended. If TA cloning is required, it can be performed by adding A overhangs to the blunt PCR product with e.g. Taq DNA Polymerase (Cat. No. EP0401). However, before adding the overhangs it is very important to remove all the Phusion DNA Polymerase by purifying the PCR product carefully, as the proofreading activity in Phusion DNA Polymerase is very strong. Any remaining Phusion DNA Polymerase will degrade the A overhangs, thus creating blunt ends again.

Yes it is possible, especially when amplifying smaller amplicons. Processivity of Phusion DNA Polymerases is 10 times that of Pfu. We recommend extension times of 15 s/kb for Phusion Flash PCR Master Mix. 15 s/kb is a conservative value that we can promise to work with almost any amplicon. In many cases, significantly shorter extension times (0-5 s/kb) can be used without compromising the yield. What separates Phusion Flash DNA Polymerase from other fast polymerases is that all steps in the PCR protocol can be shortened, including annealing and denaturation. This results in extremely fast protocols as compared with any other polymerase.
