Restorase® DNA Polymerase with 10× Reaction Buffer

Description

• General description: Restorase DNA Polymerase with 10× Reaction Buffer combines Sigma′s long and accurate enzyme technology with a small amount of DNA repair enzyme. The optimized blend will initiate the repair and further amplification of damaged DNA templates greater than 800 bp. Restorase has also been shown to increase yield on undamaged DNA templates.
• Application: Restorase® DNA Polymerase with 10× Reaction Buffer has been used in DNA repair.[1][2][3]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: DNA templates are often damaged on exposure to heat, acids, alkylating agents, and light. These damaged templates result in inefficient or failed DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Restorase® DNA Polymerase repairs the damaged sites on the DNA templates and initiates subsequent template copying. Restorase treatment of the DNA depends on the level of template damage.
• Features and Benefits: Reliable amplification of damaged DNA When thermostable polymerases fail, this enzyme amplifies the sequence efficiently Efficient amplification of sequences in multiplex reactions Increased yield and amplicon specificity Amplifies a broad spectrum of amplicon sizes varying from 200 bp to 20 kb Can repair 3′ bungs, nicks, and abasic sites
• Packaging: The enzyme is provided with an optimized 10× reaction buffer provided as 1 vial/250 units.
