Taq ReadyMix

FastGene^® Taq ReadyMix (2X) is a ready-to-use cocktail containing all components for PCR, except primers and template. The 2X ReadyMix contains FastGene^® Taq DNA Polymerase (1 U per 50 μl reaction), FastGene^® Taq Buffer (1X), dNTPs (0.2 mM of each dNTP at 1X), MgCl₂ (1.5 mM at 1X) and stabilizers.

FastGene^® Taq ReadyMix comes with two inert tracking dyes to enable direct loading of PCR products onto agarose gels for analysis by electrophoresis, without the need to add a DNA loading solution.

FastGene^® Taq ReadyMix with dye is recommended when reaction products are analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis:

FastGene^® Taq ReadyMix PCR Kits are shipped on ice packs, depending on the country of destination. Upon arrival, store kit components at -20 °C in a constant temperature freezer.  FastGene^®Taq ReadyMixes contain iso-stabilizers and may not freeze solidly, even when stored at -20 °C. This will not affect the shelf-life of the product.
