Thermo Scientific DreamTaq Green DNA Polymerase is a combination of DreamTaq DNA Polymerase and 10X DreamTaq Green Buffer. DreamTaq DNA Polymerase is an enhanced Taq polymerase optimized for high throughput PCR applications. It ensures higher sensitivity, longer PCR products and higher yields compared to conventional Taq DNA polymerase. Extensive optimization of reaction conditions is not required.

The 10X DreamTaq Green Buffer includes a density reagent and two tracking dyes for direct loading of PCR products on a gel. The colored buffer does not interfere with PCR performance and is compatible with downstream applications such as DNA sequencing, ligation and restriction digestion. For applications requiring PCR product analysis by absorbance or fluorescence excitation, we recommend using the colorless 10X DreamTaq Buffer (#B65) or purifying the PCR product before analysis. The 10X DreamTaq Green Buffer is optimized for robust performance in PCR and includes MgCl2 at a concentration of 20 mM.

DreamTaq Green PCR Master Mix (2X) is a ready-to-use solution containing DreamTaq DNA Polymerase, optimized DreamTaq Green buffer, MgCl2, and dNTPs. The master mix retains all features of DreamTaq DNA Polymerase. It is capable of robust amplification of up to 6 kb from genomic DNA and up to 20 kb from viral DNA.

10X DreamTaq Green BufferA proprietary formulation which, in addition to the PCR buffer components, includes a density reagent and two tracking dyes. The density reagent allows direct loading of PCR products on a gel. The blue dye (migrates with 3 to 5 kb DNA fragments in 1% agarose gel) and the yellow dye (migrates faster than 10 bp DNA fragments in 1% agarose gel) are included for monitoring electrophoresis progress. The dyes have excitation peaks at 424 nm and 615 nm.

The 10X DreamTaq Green Buffer contains KCl and (NH4)2SO4 at a ratio optimized for robust performance in PCR and includes MgCl2 at a concentration of 20 mM.
Definition of Activity Unit
  • One unit of the enzyme catalyzes the incorporation of 10 nmol of deoxyribonucleotides into a polynucleotide fraction (adsorbed on DE-81) in 30 min at 70°C.
  • Enzyme activity is assayed in the following mixture: 67 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.8 at 25°C), 6.7 mM MgCl2, 1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1 mg/mL BSA, 0.75 mM activated calf thymus DNA, 0.2 mM of each dNTP, 0.4 MBq/mL [3H]-dTTP.
InactivationInactivated by phenol/chloroform extraction.
InhibitionInhibitors: ionic detergents (deoxycholate, sarkosyl and SDS) at concentrations higher than 0.06, 0.02 and 0.01%, respectively (1).
Quality ControlThe absence of endo-, exodeoxyribonucleases and ribonucleases confirmed by appropriate quality tests. Functionally tested in PCR.
Storage BufferThe enzyme is supplied in 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA, 100 mM KCl, stabilizing agent and 50% (v/v) glycerol.
