OverView

AZtaq™ DNA Polymerase is a high-quality DNA polymerase, originating form Thermus aquaticus. Being highly thermostable, AZtaq is ideal for use in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) applications.

The enzyme catalyses the synthesis of a complementary DNA strand using a primed DNA or cDNA strand as template. It possesses 5’-3’ exonuclease activity while lacking 3’-5’ proofreading activity.

AZtaq is compatible with the use of dUTP, enabling highly efficient removal of carry-over contamination with Cod UNG.

Key Features 

• Excellent qPCR Performance
• Compatible with dUTP
• Thermostable

Applications

• PCR/qPCR

Sample type purification kit guide 

The 16S V3-V4 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina consists of the reagents and components required for library preparation of the 16S V3-V4 amplicon libraries to be used for next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. All molecular reagents including primers, enzyme mixes, indexes, and buffers are provided. Instructions for PCR clean up with the AMPure XP Magnetic Beads (supplied by customer) are also included for rapid purification of nucleic acid products generated at two steps of the workflow. The library prep workflow could be used for purified DNA inputs from different sources including stool, soil, water, saliva, plant, urine, skin swab, vaginal swab, cheek swab, nasal swab, plasma/serum, tongue swab, gum swab, and others.

The 16S V3-V4 Library Preparation Kit for Illumina has a streamlined procedure that reduces the handling time such that the library prep procedure can be completed in approximately 4 hours (see diagram below). Input DNA is first subjected to targeted PCR to amplify the V3-V4 region of the DNA encoding 16S rRNA. The post-PCR reaction is then cleaned up using AMPure XP beads. Dual index primers are then added using a limited-cycle PCR. The indexed amplicons flanked by 5′ and 3′ barcoded adaptors are then cleaned using AMPure XP beads. The libraries are then ready for quantification, pooling and sequencing.

About

A universal PCR master mix for allele-specific PCR assays. Precision fluorescent signal generation with consistently high performance at any reaction volume.

PACE Genotyping Master Mix uses a novel, universal, fluorescent reporting cassette to produce machine-readable fluorescent signals corresponding to genotypes. PACE compatible genotyping assays are comprised of two competitive allele specific forward primers (which differ in their terminal 3’ bases and unique 5’ tail sequences) and a common, reverse primer.  PACE Genotyping Master Mix is supplied at 2x concentration and with ROX normalising dye at a range of levels to ensure compatibility with your qPCR instrument or reader.

Genotyping assay designs are available from 3CR Bioscience through our free PACE assay-design service; once designed, users can purchase assay primers independently or through 3CR Bioscience using our partial or full-assay validation service. PACE Genotyping Master Mix is also compatible with KASP™ and Amplifluor® marker assays.
