General Description |
|
Ampliqon UniPOL-Long Range PCR Enzyme mix, combines Ampliqon’s high quality Taq DNA Polymerase with a small amount of AccuPOL, which exhibit 3’→5’ proofreading exonuclease activity. The UniPOL Enzyme mix is optimised for amplifications of 5-20 kb with a high yield.
Amplification using Taq DNA Polymerase is generally limited to amplifying up to 4-6 kb, depending on template. This is partly due to the lack of 3’→5’ proofreading exonuclease activity of the Taq DNA Polymerase. Mis-incorporation of nucleotides often leads to processive mistakes and consequently a terminal event will occur and the elongation will arrest. A mix of the processive Taq DNA Polymerase and the AccuPOL proofreading enzyme, which corrects mis-incorporated nucleotides, increases the length of the amplification product.
Due to differences in complexity of template, Ampliqon has optimized two different Buffers- UniPOL Buffer A and UniPOL Buffer B.
Some difficult templates require additives, such as DMSO, which has been reported to give DNA thermal stability against depurination and to be useful for G-C rich templates.

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.
|
|
|
Storage and Dilution Buffer |
|
Enzyme is supplied in 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.3, 100 mM KCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.5% Tween 20®, 0.5% NP40, 50% glycerol.
|
|
|
Quality Control |
|
Each lot of UniPOL is tested for contaminating activities, with no trace of endonuclease activity, nicking activity, exonuclease activity or priming activity.
|
|
Suggested Protocol using UniPOL-Long Range PCR |
|
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.
- 15mM MgCl2 is present in the 10X buffers. The 1X concentration is 1.5mM MgCl2.
- Addition of DMSO to a final concentration of 1-5% may increase yield and improve reliability of the system for some complex PCR targets.
- Effective denaturation can be accomplished by the use of higher temperature for shorter periods of time or by adding DMSO.
- Reliable amplification of long DNA sequences requires:
- Effective denaturation of DNA template
- Protection from depurination.
- Extension time long enough to produce large products.
( a. and b. can be achieved with addition of DMSO, if necessary).
|
|
|
- Thaw 10x UniPOL Buffer A and/or 10x UniPOL Buffer B, 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.
For maximum yield and specificity, temperatures and cycling times should be optimized for each new template target or primer pair.
Both two and three step PCR can be used;
