PrimeSTAR Max DNA Polymerase has the highest fidelity and fastest extension rate of any Takara Bio enzyme. The formulation is based on Takara's unique, high-fidelity PrimeSTAR HS DNA Polymerase combined with an elongation factor to provide efficient priming and extension, which greatly reduces the time required for annealing and extension steps. As a result, PrimeSTAR Max DNA Polymerase can be used for exceptionally fast PCR. It is formulated as a 2X premix containing optimized buffer and dNTPs, which allows for quick preparation of reactions for high-throughput applications.
