Extension times as low as 1 second/kb
The KAPA2G Fast PCR Kit is designed for the conversion of existing PCR assays into Fast PCR assays for the purpose of reducing the total reaction time by up to 70%, without sacrificing reaction performance or requiring specialized PCR consumables or thermocyclers. The kit is based on KAPA2G Fast DNA Polymerase, a second-generation enzyme specifically engineered through a process of molecular evolution for higher processivity and significantly faster extension rates than wild-type Taq polymerase.
