TaKaRa LA Taq DNA Polymerase Hot-Start Version consists of Takara LA Taq polymerase plus a monoclonal antibody. The antibody binds Taq polymerase, thereby preventing nonspecific amplification due to mispriming and/or formation of primer dimers during PCR assembly. This hot-start version of LA Taq retains all of the high-performance features of Takara LA Taq polymerase while increasing reaction specificity and reducing background. An optimized LA PCR Buffer II (Mg2+) and dNTP mixture are supplied with the polymerase.

For hot-start long-range PCR of targets with high GC content in high-fidelity applications, we recommend using PrimeSTAR GXL DNA Polymerase (Cat. # R050A).
Use our LA PCR Genome DNA Set as your long-range PCR experimental controls. The set includes purified, high-molecular-weight human and E. coli genomic DNA plus appropriate primers.
