General Description |
|
TEMPase Hot Start DNA Polymerase is a modified form of Ampliqon Taq DNA Polymerase, which is activated by heat treatment. A chemical moiety is attached to the enzyme at the active site, which renders the enzyme inactive at room temperature. Thus, during setup and the first ramp of thermal cycling, the enzyme is not active and misprimed primers are not extended. The result is higher specificity and greater yields when compared to standard DNA polymerases.
Once the reaction reaches optimal activating temp-erature, the chemical moiety is cleaved during a 15 minute heat activation step, releasing the active TEMPase Hot Start DNA Polymerase into the reaction.
Sensitivity improves multiplex PCR, an applied PCR technique that amplifies several specific targets simultaneously. Applications that previously required two or more reactions can be performed in a single reaction tube. Hence, multiplexing represents a substantial savings of time and costly reagents.
included in the kit; 10x TEMPase Buffer II
This is a new optimized buffer system with a balanced Ammonium/Potassium concentration. This buffer improves more complicated PCR systems such as multiplex PCR.

Unit Definition |
|
One unit is defined as the amount that incorporates 10 nmoles of dNTPs into acid-precipitable form in 30 minutes at 72°C under standard assay conditions.
|
|
|
Quality Control |
|
Endonuclease, exonuclease and priming activities are not detected after 3 hours incubation of 1 μg of pUC19 plasmid DNA and 0.5 μg EcoR I digested lambda phage DNA at 72°C in the presence of 40 units of TEMPase DNA Polymerase.

|
Suggested Protocol using TEMPase Hot Start DNA Polymerase |
|
This protocol serves as a guideline for primer extensions. Optimal reaction conditions such as incubation times, temperatures, and amount of template DNA may vary and must be individually determined.
|
|
|
Notes: |
|
Set up reaction mixtures in an area separate from that used for DNA preparation or product analysis.
15 mM MgCl2 is present in the 10X TEMPase Buffer I and Buffer II. The 1X concentration is 1.5mM MgCl2.
In some applications, more than 1.5mM MgCl2 is needed for the best results. For this reason, 25mM MgCl2 is included with the kit. Table 2 provides the volume of 25mM MgCl2 to add to the master mix if a higher MgCl2 concentration is required.
|
|
|
- Thaw 10X TEMPase Buffer I or/and 10X TEMPase Buffer II, dNTP mix, primer solutions. It is important to mix the solutions completely before use to avoid localized concentrations of salts.
- Prepare a master mix according to Table 1. The master mix typically contains all the components needed for extension except the template DNA.

- Mix the master mix thoroughly and dispense appropriate volumes into reaction tubes. Mix gently, e.g., by pipetting the master mix up and down a few times.
- Add template DNA to the individual tubes containing the master mix.
- Program the thermal cycler according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Each program must start with an initial heat activation step at 95°C for 15 minutes.
For maximum yield and specificity, temperatures and cycling times should be optimized for each new template target or primer pair.
- Place the tubes in the thermal cycler and start the reaction.
