---++ How to select the right polymerase ---+++ Types of polymerase Our lab carries 2 main types of polymerase: <br> | *Type* | *Vender* | *Cost per unit* | *Product Information* | *Image* | | Taq DNA polymerase | Syzygy Biotech | 0.18 | [[https://www.syzygybiotech.com/Home/Products][link]] | <div style="float: right; margin:10px; width:120px"><img style="border-color: black; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;" width=180 height=120 src="%ATTACHURL%/Taq.jpg"><br><div align=center style="font-size:10pt">Standard Taq</div></div> | | Phusion High Fidelity DNA poly | NEB | 0.86 | [[http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/tech_reference/polymerases/phusion_high.asp][Info about phusion]] | <div style="float: right; margin:10px; width:120px"><img style="border-color: black; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;" width=180 height=120 src="%ATTACHURL%/Phusion.jpg"><br><div align=center style="font-size:10pt">Phusion HF </div></div> | ---+++Applications *Phusion High Fidelity* <br> _High-fidelity PCR_ <br> The error rate of Phusion DNA Polymerase is 4.4 x 10^-7, which is industry-leading fidelity. Therefore, Phusion DNA Polymerase is suitable for all PCR applications requiring great accuracy. _Cloning_ <br> Phusion DNA Polymerase amplifies templates with an accuracy and speed previously unattainable with a single enzyme. This makes it a superior choice for cloning. Phusion DNA Polymerase produces blunt ends to the amplified fragment. _Long amplicons_ <br> Extension and overall cycling times can be significantly reduced when using Phusion DNA Polymerase. Due to the high processivity, Phusion DNA Polymerase can amplify long templates in a fraction of the time other polymerases need.
