Taq Polymerase

Science Magazine's prestigious recognition of the "Molecule of the Year," Taq polymerase eliminates new enzymes from being introduced during a thermocycling process. In 1993, its inventor, Kary Mullis, received a Nobel Prize for his research in Taq polymerase. This procedure has expanded its approved research uses. It is now common in clinical tests as well as forensic sciences. Recently, the promising results of a collective effort between scientists and those in the medical field have revealed a potential for a new weapon in the direct detection of the HIV virus.

Thermo Stable DNA Polymerase

With its first publication in the mid 1970s, thermo stable DNA polymerase has evolved into a well-known and varied use enzyme. Further, it's a multi-million dollar industry. Ab Pep has an inventory of these enzymes, as well as several of the variations. Despite claims of error rates, many labs experience successful studies with very low error percentages. Of particular interest, and certainly worth mentioning, is the Pfu polymerase. It's been cited as displaying the lowest error rates. Still, many scientists insist its benefits far outweigh the small risks of errors.

With rigid quality control efforts, Ab Peps offers an extremely pure enzyme. Our wholesale rates help economically provide these enzymes as well as our entire inventory to those working within budgets that are accountable to educational facilities or grant administrators.

As we continue to make new revelations each day on DNA, cloning and other significant advances, the need for the purest of enzymes, and certainly thermo stable DNA polymerase and other peptides will only keep pace with the technological advances. With new discoveries to improve the lives of all of us - from skin care and infertility to cures for cancers, HIV and other genetic and viral disorders, the need for these discoveries are vital to the human race.
