    Advantage-HF cDNA Polymerase Mix is covered by U.S. Patent No. 5,436,149. Foreign patents pending. TaqStart Antibodies are licensed under U.S. Patent No. 5,338,671 and corresponding patents in other countries. page Protocol # PT3139-1 Technical Support TEL:415-424-8222 or 800-662-CLON Version # PR76834...
  • Page 3: Introduction

    Advantage-HF PCR Kit offers Pfu -like fidelity combined with the efficiency required to amplify DNA fragments of up to 2.5 kb. These benefits are the result of reformulation of several components in CLONTECH’s Advantage PCR Enzyme Systems. The Advantage-HF Polymerase Mix combines KlenTaq (a 5'-...

    RT-PCR protocols, incomplete reverse transcription can lead to an absence of product, shorter than full-length products, or smearing. For 5' and 3' RACE and general PCR from cDNA, you can ensure the quality of your cDNA by using Marathon-Ready cDNA from CLONTECH. TEL:415-424-8222 or 800-662-CLON Technical Support...
