Maxima Hot Start PCR Master Mix (2X) - FAQs

Can I do PCR directly from bacterial colonies with Thermo Scientific Taq Master Mixes?

Dream Taq PCR Master Mix and Taq PCR Master Mix can be used for direct PCR from bacterial colonies. Simply scrape a tiny amount of a single colony and transfer to a PCR-tube, prefilled with the master mix. Always use at least 3 min at 95 degrees C for initial denaturation.
