Principle

HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase具备同HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase一样的卓越表现，激活时间只需5分钟。

HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase，是一种经修饰的QIAGEN Taq DNA Polymerase，以非活性形式提供，常温下没有聚合酶活性。避免PCR构建和循环初始阶段低温条件下非特异性引物的延伸和引物二聚体的形成（参见" Highest specificity"和" Higher specificity with different primer-template systems"）。95°C条件下孵育5分钟即可激活HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase，这个步骤可整合入已有的热循环程序中。

QIAGEN PCR Buffer

QIAGEN PCR Buffer通过提高每个PCR扩增退火过程特异性引物的结合比例，确保PCR每个循环特异性扩增（参见" Increased specificity of primer annealing"）。独特的KCl和(NH₄)₂SO₄平衡组合，使得该缓冲液与传统的PCR缓冲液相比在很宽的温度和Mg²⁺浓度范围内都有严格的引物退火条件和高度的特异性，无需进行耗时的优化。

CoralLoad PCR Buffer

HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase同时提供CoralLoad PCR Buffer，CoralLoad PCR Buffer具备QIAGEN PCR Buffer的所有优点，同时可直接将PCR产物上样到琼脂凝胶上，无需加入凝胶上样缓冲液。CoralLoad PCR Buffer具备同样高的PCR特异性，与常规的QIAGEN PCR Buffer一样可减少优化过程。此外，它包含两种指示染料，橙色染料和红色染料，可方便的判断DNA的迁移距离和优化跑胶时间（参见" CoralLoad PCR Buffer"）。该缓冲液提高移液的可见性，并可直接将PCR产物上样至凝胶，提高便利性。

Q-Solution

该产品同时提供Q-Solution，一种新型的PCR添加剂，通过修饰DNA熔解行为促进难扩增模板的扩增。这种独特的试剂可进一步优化由模板引起的表现不理想的PCR，如过多的二级结构和富含GC的模板（参见" Amplification of difficult templates"）。不同于DMSO和其他PCR添加剂，Q-Solution的浓度是确定的，没有毒性，并且保证PCR的纯度。而且PCR中加入Q-Solution不会影响PCR的准确性。

FAQ

No. HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase is supplied with conventional QIAGEN PCR Buffer and CoralLoad PCR Buffer in separate vials. Both buffers minimize nonspecific amplification products, primer–dimers, and background.

CoralLoad PCR Buffer has all of the advantages of QIAGEN PCR Buffer but can also be used to directly load the PCR reaction onto an agarose gel without the need to add a gel loading buffer.

FAQ ID -1052

PCR products that will be cloned using the QIAGEN PCR Cloning Kit should be generated using a thermostable DNA Polymerase without proofreading activity, such as Taq DNA Polymerase. Such polymerases attach a single A overhang to their reaction products, which can hybridize to the U overhang of the pDrive Cloning Vector. For efficient addition of an A overhang during the PCR procedure, we recommend a final extension step for 10 min at 72°C as described in the standard protocols of the Taq PCR- and HotStarTaq PCR handbook.

FAQ ID -165

Yes, please follow the Supplementary Protocol 'Polyacrylamide_gel_analysis_of_oligonucleotides' (PCR03).

FAQ ID -961

Not necessarily. In a lot of cases, the uniquely formulated PCR Buffer provided in the HotStarTag Plus DNA Polymerase, HotStar HiFidelity Polymerase, Taq DNA Polymerase, HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase, and QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Kits provides optimal amplification of specific PCR products. The usefulness of Q-Solution needs to be determined empirically for each primer/template setup, by running parallel PCR reactions with and without Q-Solution under the same cycling conditions.

Q-Solution changes the melting behavior of DNA and will often improve a suboptimal PCR caused by templates that have a high degree of secondary structure or high GC-contents. For more details on the effects of Q-Solution on PCR amplification, please see the Q-Solution sections of the HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase, HotStar HiFidelity Polymerase, Taq DNA Polymerase, HotStarTaq DNA Polymerase, and the QIAGEN Multiplex PCR Handbooks.

FAQ ID -380

Yes. Do not increase the activation time for HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase beyond the recommended 5 minutes, as PCR product yield may be reduced and less specific amplification may result. Please follow the instructions in the HotStarTaq Plus PCR Handbook closely, and use the cycling parameters presented in the handbook to ensure optimal results.

FAQ ID -1050

CoralLoad gel tracking dye contained in Taq, HotStarTaq, TopTaq DNA Polymerase and TopTaq Master Mix Kits separates into 2 fragment-size dependent colors (orange and red) when loaded onto an agarose gel. Sigma Red buffer only has one color which is harder to visualize.

FAQ ID -1644

The activation time for HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase used in the QuantiFast SYBR Green PCR Kits is longer than that for QuantiFast Probe PCR Kits. This is due to differences in buffer composition. Buffer components such as salts and additives influence the time required for enzyme activation.

FAQ ID -1449

Yes. Separated dyes are visible on an agarose gel down to a volume of 2 µl of PCR product generated with HotStarTaq Plus DNA Polymerase and CoralLoad PCR buffer.

FAQ ID -1051

In QIAGEN labs, we have amplified PCR products up to 5 kb from complex genomic DNA, and up to 10 kb from less complex lambda phage DNA with the HotStar HiFidelity Polymerase Kit, following standard protocols in the HotStar HiFidelity PCR Handbook.

For targets larger than 5 kb of complex genomic DNA, and larger than 10 kb of less complex DNA, we recommend to follow the protocol 'Amplification of Long PCR Products' in the HotStar HiFidelity PCR Handbook. The protocol uses a mixture of HotStar HiFidelity DNA Polymerase and Taq, or HotStar Taq Plus DNA Polymerase, and allows much longer fragments to be generated. In-house we have tested fragments up to 13 kb from complex genomic DNA or up to 30 kb from less complex lambda phage DNA using this protocol.
