Description:
KlenTaq is a truncated version of Taq DNA Polymerase, lacking its first 280 amino acids. The enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in 5’→3’ direction in the presence of magnesium but lacks the 5’→3’ exonuclease activity of Taq polymerase. The enzyme is purified by an additional separation process to reduce contaminating bacterial DNA sequences.
In addition to routine PCR, KlenTaq is recommended for genotyping and primer extension. Compared to Taq the enzyme shows an improved fidelity and thermostability.

PCR Reaction Set-Up:
The PCR procedure below shows appropriate volumes for a single 50 μl reaction. For multiple reactions, prepare a master mix of all components and dispense appropriate volumes into each PCR reaction tube prior to adding template DNA and primers.
Thaw up and briefly centrifuge each component before use.
Add the following components to a PCR tube:

| reverse primer (10 μM) | 0.1 - 0.5 μM | 0.5 - 2.5 μl | |
| template DNA | 10 pg - 1 μg1) |
Mix and briefly centrifuge the components
Optimisation of MgCl2 concentration:
The final assay contains 3.5 mM Mg2+ as recommended for most applications. For an individual optimisation Mg2+ stock solution (#PCR-266) mybe added.
Incubate reactions in a thermal cycler
Recommended cycling conditions:
| initial denaturation | 96 °C | 2 min | 1x |
| denaturation annealing2) elongation3) | 96 °C 50 - 68 °C 72 °C | 15 - 30 sec 15 - 30 sec 30 sec - 4 min | 25 - 35x |
| final elongation (optional) | 72 °C | 2 min | 1x |
| hold | 4 - 8 °C |
For optimal specificity and amplification an individual optimisation of the recommended parameters may be necessary for each new template DNA and/or primer pair.
