MegaFi™ Pro Fidelity DNA Polymerase
MegaFi™ Pro Fidelity DNA Polymerase is the best high fidelity DNA Polymerase on the market. With 2000X better fidelity than regular Taq, this ultrasensitive polymerase amplifies even the most difficult templates.
MegaFi™ Pro Fidelity
Amplifies difficult templates
Effective in long-range PCR
Ultra-Low Error Rates
MegaFi™ Pro DNA Polymerase is THE BEST high fidelity DNA polymerase A lacZa-containing sequence was amplified using various DNA polymerases, subcloned, and plated on X-gal-containing media. Colonies without PCR amplified lacZa mutations appear dark blue, while those that have PCR introduced frameshift mutations appear white.
Superior Fidelity
MegaFi™ Pro Fidelity DNA Polymerase has ~2000X higher fidelity than other enzymes on the market. abm’s MegaFi™ Pro Fidelity DNA Polymerase (Cat. No. G886) has the highest accuracy rate compared to other DNA polymerases as tested using blue/white colony screening. Shown as relative fidelity compared to Taq DNA Polymerase (Taq = 1X). PCR cycle number and mutations resulting in non-phenotypic changes are accounted for.

BlasTaq™ DNA Polymerase
Blast through a routine 2 hour PCR run in only 20 minutes with our BlasTaq™ DNA Polymerase. Reach extension speeds as fast as 6 kb/min and streamline your PCR!
6 kb/min extension speed
40-70% less time than Taq
Superior sensitivity
Super Fast Extension Speeds
BlasTaq™ DNA Polymerase enables extension speeds as fast as 6 kb/min. Total reaction times for abm’s BlasTaq™ DNA Polymerase (Cat. No. G894) and Taq were determined for the amplification of different sized amplicons: 500 bp, 1 kb, 2 kb, and 5 kb. Reaction times are based on a 30-cycle program using the recommended reaction protocol for each enzyme.
Highly Robust
PCR amplification using abm’s BlasTaq™ DNA Polymerase (Cat. No. G894) (column 1) of various targets vs. competitor polymerases (column 2 and 3) followed by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel. A) 1 kb target from Human cDNA. B) 1.3 kb target from plasmid DNA. C) 7.6 kb target from plasmid DNA.
BlasTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase
Eliminate non-specific amplification and primer-dimer formation with our next generation BlasTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase. This formulation includes a proprietary antibody that blocks polymerase activity at low temperatures and dissociates at the denaturation step to restore enzyme activity.
No non-specific amplification or primer dimers
Improves yield of desired product
Simplifies reaction setup
Excellent for suspension cells
BlasTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase eliminates non-specific amplification. abm ’s BlasTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase (Cat. No. G595) was used to amplify a 7 kb target. The antibody concentration was decreased incrementally from lanes 1-5. Lane 1 is our BlasTaq™ HotStart formulation and lane 5 contains no antibody.
Super Fast Extension Speeds
BlasTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase has extension speeds of 6 kb/min. abm ’s BlasTaq™ HotStart DNA Polymerase (Cat. No. G595) was used to amplify different sized amplicons (500 bp, 1 kb, 2 kb, and 5 kb). Total reaction times are listed based on a 30-cycle program using the recommended reaction protocol for each enzyme.
