Q5® high-fidelity DNA polymerase products

Q5® high-fidelity DNA polymerase sets a new standard for both fidelity and robust performance. 

FEATURES:

  • Extremely low error rates
    At ~280X higher than Taq, Q5 offers unparalleled fidelity for your most important samples.
  • Robust amplification with minimal optimization
    High specificity and yield are absolute requirements for today's molecular biology techniques.
  • Superior coverage for a broad range of amplicons, regardless of GC content
    While other DNA polymerases can have difficulty amplifying high-GC or high-AT amplicons, Q5 displays superior performance for a wide range of templates.
  • Shorter PCR protocols
    Achieve precision without sacrificing speed. Q5's unique design incorporating the SSo7d processivity-enhancing domain enables shorter extension times, as low as 10 seconds per kb. Additionally, aptamer-based hot start requires no initial denaturation step and enables room temperature setup.
  • Amplify templates up to 20 kb
    With Q5, you can reliably amplify simple templates up to 20 kb. Complex templates up to 10 kb can also be amplified with a high degree of confidence.

“We are using NEBNext® Q5U® Master Mix to amplify sequencing library pools after hybridization capture and bisulfite conversion. It's a tough job for an enzyme, but Q5U® does it well, and the quality of sequencing data is excellent."
