Description:
Pfu DNA Polymerase is a thermostable enzyme of approximately 90kDa isolated from Pyrococcus furiosus. The enzyme replicates DNA at 75oC, catalyzing the polymerization of nucleotides into duplex DNA in the 5´-3´ direction in the presence of magnesium. Pfu DNA Polymerase also possesses 3´-5´ exonuclease (proofreading) activity. Base misinsertions that may occur during polymerization are rapidly excised by the proofreading activity of the polymerase. Consequently, Pfu DNA Polymerase is recommended for use in PCR and primer extension reactions that require high-fidelity synthesis. Pfu DNA Polymerase-generated PCR fragments are blunt-ended.
Concentration:5U/ul
Source:
Pyrococcus furiosus strain Vc1 DSM3638.
10X Reaction Buffer with MgSO4:
200mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.8 at 25oC), 100mM KCl, 100mM (NH4)2SO4, 20mM MgSO4, 1.0% Triton X-100 and 1mg/ml nuclease-free BSA.
Features:
High Fidelity: Pfu DNA Polymerase exhibits the lowest error rate of any thermostable DNA polymerase.
Applications:
Pfu DNA Polymerase is recommended for use in PCR, primer extension reactions and other applications that demand high fidelity.
Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the incorporation of 10nmol of dNTPs into acid-insoluble material in 30 minutes at 75oC.

4. Gently vortex the sample and briefly centrifuge to collect all drops from walls of tube.
5. If using a thermal cycler without a heated lid, overlay the sample with a half volume of mineral
oil or add an appropriate amount of wax.
6. Place samples in a thermal cycler preheated to 96°C and start PCR.
