OneTaq® Hot Start Quick-Load® 2X Master Mix with GC Buffer
The small size of this product was discontinued on December 15, 2025. The large size will remain available.
OneTaq DNA Polymerase is an optimized blend of Taq and Deep Vent® DNA polymerases for use with routine and difficult PCR experiments.
• Unique hot start formulation eliminates nonspecific amplification and does not require a separate activation step
• Obtain high yields with GC rich templates (>65%)
• Offered with inert tracking dyes for easy and direct loading of PCR products onto gels
Product Information
OneTaq Hot Start Quick-Load 2X Master Mix with GC Buffer is an optimized, ready-to-use blend of Taq and Deep Vent DNA Polymerases combined with an aptamer-based inhibitor. This enzyme blend is ideally suited to PCR applications from GC-rich templates, including pure DNA solutions, bacterial colonies, and cDNA products. The 3´→5´ exonuclease activity of Deep Vent DNA Polymerase increases the fidelity and robust amplification of Taq DNA Polymerase (1). The hot start nature of the enzyme offers convenience with decreased interference from primer dimers and secondary products. The convenient master mix formulation contains dNTPs, MgSO4, buffer components and stabilizers as well as two commonly used tracking dyes for DNA gels. On a 1% agarose gel in 1X TBE, Xylene Cyanol FF migrates at ~3-5 kb and Tartrazine migrates at ~50 bp. Both dyes are present in concentrations that do not mask co-migrating DNA bands.
Comparison of OneTaq Products to Other Commercially Available Polymerases
Amplification of a selection of high GC human genomic DNA targets demonstrates OneTaq performance. All polymerases were cycled according to manufacturer’s recommendations, including the use of additives to enhance the amplification of targets with high GC content. Yield (dot size) and purity (color) of reaction product were quantified from triplicate reactions on a Perkin Elmer LabChip®. A large, dark green dot represents the highest yield and purity.

Quick-Load PCR reagents enable direct loading of PCR products onto agarose DNA gels for analysis. Quick-Load amplification products deliver the same performance as their non-Quick-Load equivalents, while incorporating two PCR-inert tracking dyes for enhanced visualization. During gel electrophoresis, the blue Xylene Cyanol FF dye co-migrates with DNA fragments of approximately 3-5 kb in a 1% agarose gel, while the yellow Tartrazine dye migrates at approximately 50 bp for clear monitoring of both large and small DNA fragments. Additionally, the combination of the blue and yellow dyes results in a green reagent that enables visual tracking of reaction set up.
