Titanium Taq DNA Polymerase is a blend of a specially engineered Taq, and an antibody for integrated hot-start PCR, which prevents non-specific amplification and primer-dimer formation. Titanium Taq DNA Polymerase is suitable for use in all PCR applications and with a wide range of samples, including bacterial and plasmid DNA, cDNA, and complex genomic DNA. It gives higher PCR product yield than other polymerases, and is active over a wide range of Mg2+ concentrations.
Titanium Taq is available in several formats:

Titanium Taq is available in several formats:
Individual components—separate tubes of Titanium Taq polymerase mix and buffer (dNTPs not included).
Glycerol-free formulation—50X Titanium Taq SP (Glycerol-Free) is ideal for preparation of custom dried-down PCR master mixes or automation workflows.
For a complete system, use the Titanium Taq PCR Kit—includes polymerase mix, PCR buffer, 50X dNTP mix, control DNA template, control primer mix, and PCR-grade water.
A ready-to-use, lyophilized 2X PCR master mix—High Yield PCR EcoDry Premix for convenient room-temperature set up, transport, and storage.
High yield—requires fewer PCR cycles, therefore generating less background signal
Active over wide ranges of Mg2+ concentrations—minimizes time spent on optimization
Specially engineered DNA polymerase—amplifies highly complex templates up to 2 kb, such as mammalian genomic DNA. Also suitable for rare or low-copy targets
Integrated hot-start antibody for enhanced specificity—minimizes primer-dimer formation and reduces background, making it suitable for multiplex PCR. Also allows for convenient reaction setup at room temperature
Lyophilized format available as EcoDry Premix—stores conveniently at room temperature. Ideal for field work or point-of-care assays

Corn crops are vulnerable to a serious bacterial disease known as Stewart's Wilt, which can sharply reduce crop yields. Accurate identification of this pathogen in infected corn plants is critical to minimizing its impact. A team of scientists discovered that Titanium Taq DNA Polymerase was able to generate reproducible PCR banding patterns to distinguish this pathogen from several related strains—providing a rapid, reliable genotyping method to help protect corn crops from a devastating blight. That's Good Science!
