DescriptionFastÄQTM Taq DNA polymerase is an engineered Taq to achieve rapid PCR without compromising specificity and accuracy. It can extend a kilobase of sequence in 15 seconds and with accuracy 50 times higher than Taq DNA Polymerasey. This ultra-thermostable polymerase can be used for amplifying sequencing libraries.
