TAQ Antibody – Monoclonal

Anti-Taq monoclonal antibodies were derived from a hybridoma (fusion of mouse myeloma cell and the cells after mouse immunization with Taq DNA Polymerase).
Anti-Taq monoclonal antibody inhibits polymerase activity before the onset of thermal cycling, preventing nonspecific amplification and primer-dimer formation. When the temperature is raised, the antibody is quickly inactivated and PCR proceeds.
Anti-Taq monoclonal antibody is effective with a variety of commercially available Taq DNA polymerases (native or recombinant). The use of hot start anti-Taq monoclonal antibody significantly improves the specificity of PCR amplification what is especially important for PCR-based tests.

Small volumes of anti-Taq antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS430074 is an antibody targeting Taq. Also known as Anti-Taq Monoclonal Antibody (clone 8C1).
