Kapa Biosystems has awarded distribution rights for its novel range of engineered DNA polymerases to Anachem.
Kapa Biosystems engineers enzymes for specific DNA amplification, DNA sequencing and molecular diagnostic applications.
These are enabling new DNA amplification and sequencing applications that were not previously possible with generalist, wild-type enzymes.
The full range of Kapa products now available from Anachem includes: Kapa2G Robust Hotstart DNA Polymerase, a robust and versatile second-generation enzyme that offers more specific activity and easier processing; Kapa SYBR Fast qPCR Kits, which contain an enzyme specifically evolved for qPCR using SYBR Green I dye chemistry to improve sensitivity, speed and reaction efficiency; Kapa Blood PCR Kits, which contain the first polymerase engineered for PCR direct from whole blood, eliminating the need to extract DNA; Kapa2G Fast Hotstart DNA Polymerase, which has been specifically engineered for speed and easier processing to provide faster extension rates than wild-type Taq polymerase, without a loss in performance; and KapaHiFi DNA Polymerase, a high-fidelity polymerase that can amplify long and complex templates.
