Product Description
BioChain’s HotStart Taq Polymerase combines high specificity, sensitivity, and minimal optimization with a fast 10-minute activation time. During PCR reaction setup, DNA polymerases commonly exhibit some synthesis activity which can lead to amplification of mis-primed sequences and accumulation of primer-dimers that compromise the specificity and yield of the reaction. Non-specific amplification can be minimized with HotStart Taq Polymerase. Our ready-to-use HotStart Taq Polymerase is chemically modified causing its activity to be blocked at lower temperatures. Activity is restored when the enzyme is heated to 95oC during the initial denaturing process, enabling hot-start PCR. BioChain’s Hot-Start Taq Polymerase is a powerful, yet cost effective way to minimize pre-cycling polymerase activity for more efficient, specific PCR.

Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), using Thermo Fisher’s Ion AmpliSeq panel, was performed to identify mutations and mutational hotspots in 35 well-characterized genes that are associated with oncology. These tissues are ideal for verification, genotyping, or identification of new mutational hotspots. Tissues found to not contain any mutational hotspots in a gene of interest may also be considered to be used as a negative control for assay performance.
The advantage of using BioChain’s CancerSeq AMS real tumor tissue versus genetically engineered tumor cell lines is that the tissues are far more representative of real clinical disease. Cancer cell lines or genetically altered cell lines have been used widely for in vitro tumor models, but these possess only a small proportion of the genetic variances seen in tumor tissues. Actual tumors generally carry multiple mutations instead of just one or two. Numerous studies have pointed out the striking genetic differences between cell lines and tumor samples by comparing microarrays, copy number changes, mutations, and mRNA expression profiles. We offer CancerSeq AMS pre-screened tissue as mounted sections or curls.
Please inquire for other options, such as whole block or extracted nucleic acids. The list of targeted genes is also included in each product’s data sheet
