Description

Terra PCR Direct Polymerase Mix saves you time and money by allowing you to skip DNA extraction and purification, and go directly to PCR amplification.

Terra PCR Direct contains a novel DNA polymerase that lets you amplify directly from animal and plant tissues, as well as from crude DNA extracts.

Moreover, Terra PCR Direct comes pre-blended with a monoclonal antibody for hot start PCR. Terra PCR Direct Polymerase Mix lets you easily amplify DNA targets up to 2 kb, even when the GC-content is greater than 70%.

Terra PCR Direct has been optimized for direct PCR amplification from animal and plant tissues, such as blood, tail and ear biopsies, or leaf cuttings.

Gel visualization trick:
PCR products amplified directly from animal tissues do not always resolve well on agarose gels. This can be easily prevented by adding proteinase K to your gel loading buffer. Consequently, we recommend ordering Proteinase K along with Terra PCR Direct Polymerase Mix if you are amplifying directly from animal tissues.
