VersaTaq™ Direct PCR Polymerase Skip DNA Extraction and GO DIRECT to PCR VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase is a mutant Taq DNA polymerase engineered for direct amplification from complex inhibitory templates. n Eliminate extraction and purification steps n Amplify limited quantities of DNA n Increased sensitivity n Amplifies from a wide variety of sample types n Expedited experiments and data output In contrast to standard Taq DNA polymerase, VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase can amplify DNA directly from samples, which eliminates costly extraction and purification steps, saving time and enabling amplification from limited quantities of DNA. This versatile polymerase remains functional in the presence of high concentrations of inhibitors where other commercial enzymes fail. Due to the wide variety of sample types supported by VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase, optimization may be required. VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase has 5’-3’ exonuclease activity, making it suitable for hydrolysis probe-based detection chemistries. Resistance to potent PCR inhibitors in a wide range of end-point PCR applications: – Whole blood (up to 40%) – Feces – Blood spots on sample – Urine collection cards – Animal tissue – Buccal swabs – Plant tissue – Soil – Crude extracts Tissue: Tissue, such as that isolated from genetically modified mouse models, is extensively used in biomedical research. PCR from tissue samples typically requires a DNA extraction step due to PCR inhibitors(1-2). VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase overcomes PCR inhibitors commonly found in tissue, enabling direct amplification of a wide range of DNA targets (Fig. 2). Buccal swabs: Buccal swabs for DNA collection can be used in a wide range of applications such as genotyping and epigenetic studies. Buccal swabs were rapidly eluted and added directly to PCR reactions with VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase for amplification in a wide range of targets (Fig. 3). Blood spots: VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase can amplify directly from blood spotted on Whatman™ FTA™ elute cards (Fig. 4). Using VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase decreases processing time significantly because there is no need to elute DNA from the cards prior to performing PCR. Soil: Environmental and forensic applications that require samples collected from crude soil for DNA amplification may present problems in PCR reactions. Trace amounts of humic acid commonly found in aquatic soil and sediment environments have been shown to inhibit PCR(3). VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase overcomes potent inhibitors, enabling direct amplification from a wide range of targets, including those with high GC content (Fig. 5). Whole blood: VersaTaq Direct PCR Polymerase is able to amplify DNA in whole blood (up to 40%) with various anticoagulants from a wide range of targets including high GC (Fig. 1).
