Different-sized amplicons from 3 ng of a DNA plasmid were amplified. The use of Taq DNA polymerase resulted in clean and high yield of products, as analysed after PCR on a 0.8% agarose gel.
A fragment (64 bp) of the human blood-coagulation factor IIa (F2) was amplified from 20 ng, 2 ng, 200 pg and 20 pg of a human genomic DNA extract. The same experiment was performed in parallel using the Taq DNA polymerase mix from another well-established and known supplier. PCR products were subsequently analysed on a 2.5% agarose gel.
Taq 2x PCR Master Mix – ready to use mix simplifies your PCR setup. Only primers and template need to be added as the mix contains all copmponents for a successful and reliable PCR. This ensures reproducible results, significantly reduces set-up times and the risk of pipetting errors. The robustness of PCR performance allows the application of this mix in a wide range of PCR amplifications.
Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the utter is mainly caused by infection of various bacteria. Streptococcus dysgalactiae, a Lancefield group C α-hemolytic gram-positive bacteria, is a common pathogen in subclinical and clinical mastitis causing substantial economic losses in dairy herds. Streptococcus dysgalactiae has been isolated from infected mammary glands and teat injuries and is transmitted primarily during milking. However, detection of S. dysgalactiae in other cow tissues such as tonsils, mouth and vagina, and occurrence of S. dysgalactiae mastitis during the non-lactating period in herds, suggests that the organism also behaves as an environmental pathogen.
