GoTaq® G2 Flexi DNA Polymerase is a high-performance PCR enzyme system designed to offer flexibility, consistency, and direct-to-gel convenience. It features a full-length form of Taq DNA polymerase with 5’→3’ exonuclease activity and is optimized for use in a wide range of PCR applications, from standard amplification to complex template analysis.
Supplied in a proprietary 50% glycerol solution, GoTaq® G2 Flexi is paired with Mg²⁺-free buffer options, enabling researchers to fine-tune MgCl₂ concentrations for optimized PCR conditions. The system includes two buffers:
- 5X Green Buffer: Includes blue and yellow tracking dyes and a loading agent, allowing direct gel loading.
- 5X Colorless Buffer: Ideal for fluorescence and absorbance-based downstream applications, eliminating background signal from dyes.
Key Features and Benefits
- Magnesium-free buffer system allows precise Mg²⁺ optimization
- Includes 5X Green buffer with tracking dyes and gel-loading capability
- Colorless buffer enables compatibility with real-time detection assays
- Supplied at 5 units/µL for reliable enzyme performance
- Enhanced lot-to-lot consistency due to improved manufacturing
- Ideal for manual and automated PCR workflows
Applications
- Standard and high-yield PCR amplification
- PCR optimization with variable Mg²⁺ concentrations
- DNA amplification for cloning, genotyping, sequencing
- Template types including genomic, plasmid, and viral DNA
- Direct gel electrophoresis from PCR plate/tube
- Use in workflows requiring post-PCR fluorescence detection
