Description
    Recombinant pfu DNA polymerase (rPfu DNA polymerase) is expressed in E.coli and purified to high homogeneity. This product is thermostable with both 5’- to 3’- DNA polymerase and 3’- to 5’-exonuclease activity. Thus its fidelity of DNA synthesis is much higher than that of Taq DNA polymerase. The eznyme is ideal for a variety of applications requiring high-fidelity DNA synthesis by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Successful PCR using pfu DNA polymerase is readily performed requiring only slight modifications from PCR protocol enclosed in this intruduction sheet..
