Description
GoTaq® G2: Better Performance for PCR
GoTaq® G2 DNA Polymerase, the second generation of GoTaq® products, reliably amplifies a wide range of PCR templates and provides high-performing results due to improved manufacturing processes, increased reliability and consistency. GoTaq® G2 is supplied in a proprietary formulation containing 50% glycerol with buffers designed for enhanced amplification.
The enzyme is a full-length form of Taq DNA polymerase that exhibits 5´→3´ exonuclease activity. GoTaq® G2 DNA Polymerase is supplied with 5X Green GoTaq® Reaction Buffer and 5X Colorless GoTaq® Reaction Buffer. Both buffers contain MgCl2 at a concentration of 7.5mM for a final concentration of 1.5mM in the 1X reaction. The 5X Green GoTaq® Reaction Buffer has two dyes (blue and yellow) that separate during electrophoresis to indicate migration progress. The buffer also includes a compound that increases sample density so that samples can be loaded directly onto gels without the need for loading dye. The colorless buffer is used when direct fluorescence or absorbance readings are required without prior purification of the amplified DNA from the PCR.
Performance Guarantee: Promega PCR systems, enzymes and reagents are proven in PCR to ensure reliable, high-performance results. If you are not completely satisfied with any Promega PCR product, we will send a replacement or refund your account.
Consistent High Yields from Multiple Targets

GoTaq® G2 DNA Polymerase consistently produces high yields across multiple targets compared to other Taq polymerases. Three different targets were amplified with the GoTaq® G2 DNA Polymerase Green (G) and Colorless (C) buffers or competitor products (T, Q, L1, L2 and R) according to manufacturers’ recommended protocols using 3.3ng of input human DNA.
