Ex Taq products
TaKaRa Ex Taq DNA Polymerase combines the proven performance of Takara Taq polymerase with the proofreading activity of an efficient 3'-to-5' exonuclease for high-sensitivity and high-efficiency PCR. It can also be used for long-range PCR (up to 20 kb from genomic DNA templates and up to 30 kb from lambda DNA templates). Ex Taq polymerase has a higher fidelity than standard Taq polymerase with a mutation rate approximately 4.5 times lower, as determined by the Kunkel method.
Ex Taq polymerase is available in several flexible and convenient formats:

Ex Taq DNA polymerase is available in several flexible and convenient formats:
- Individual components—separate tubes of Ex Taq enzyme blend, 10X reaction buffer (with or without Mg2+), and dNTPs for flexible reaction setup and optimization
- Hot-start versions—Ex Taq formulations that include an antibody to prevent non-specific amplification from mispriming during reaction setup, thereby improving specificity
- 2X PCR master mix—premix that includes Ex Taq enzyme blend, reaction buffer (with Mg2+), and dNTPs for simple and convenient PCR setup with minimal pipetting steps. A dye-added version is also available as PerfectShot Ex Taq DNA Polymerase

See what our customers are saying about Takara Ex Taq DNA Polymerase!
"The polymerase worked well for a protocol to amplify from yeast genomic DNA, which I was not able to do with the other polymerase we already have in lab. I have already purchased some more Takara Ex Taq for future genotyping."
—Shar-yin Huang, NIH
"1.Ex Taq gives robost product even in case of very little template and provides enough product for sequencing. 2. There are hardly any errors in the amplification product and so we plan to use it for cloning purposes. 3. It gives clean and clear bands. In our lab we are hooked on Ex Taq and I paln to use it regularly."
—Anju Verma, UNIV OF MISSOURI
"I use Ex Taq for all of my cloning experiments. In rare cases, I need to amplify DNA ranging in size from 17 to 23kb, in which I use LA Taq. Takara Bio products always work for me, and I intend to remain a loyal client as I transition from a post-doctoral researcher to assistant professor."
