Can QIAGEN's Taq- and HotstarTaq DNA Polymerases be used for cycle sequencing?
FAQ ID -741
Taq DNA Polymerase and
HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase are compatible with cycle sequencing. However, our buffer system is not optimized for this purpose. Optimization of reaction conditions is therefore required when using these Polymerases for cycle sequencing. Unfortunately, we do not have any protocols for this application. An initial activation of the enzyme is necessary if HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase is used.
