RedTaq DNA polymerase catalyzes the 5'-3' synthesis of DNA. The enzyme has been proven not to have the 3'-5' exonuclease activity. The enzyme has proven to have a high amplification yield, and be stable at high temperatures. The added inert dye will not have any interference with the reaction. Visual confirmation that the enzyme has been added and proper component mixing of the reaction has occurred. Samples can be loaded directly onto an agarose gel for electrophoresis with no loading dye addition.
