Specific & Efficient Primer Extension

Non-specific extension of primers at low temperature is a common cause of PCR artifacts and poor assay specificity and sensitivity. That’s why Quantabio PCR reagents are formulated with ultrapure AccuStart™ DNA polymerase, which contains a stringent antibody hot start to ensure specific and efficient primer extension only after activation at 94°C.

Our enzymes are rigorously purified to remove host E. coli genomic DNA and are ideally suited for applied testing applications such as bacterial pathogen detection where residual host DNA in typical recombinant enzyme preparations can limit assay sensitivity and obscure detection of low copy targets.

Quantabio manufactured reagents:

  • Maximize assay performance
  • Minimize errors
  • Deliver reliable, reproducible results

Customer Testimonials
repliQa HiFi ToughMix

"Worked great amplifying two gene target from plasmid DNA. It was the first time I have performed a two step reaction and it worked great. It was awesome running everything in 23 minutes too."

Dr. Brandon L. | University of Nebraska
repliQa HiFi ToughMix

"I used NEB Q5 for the same plasmid for PCR, same annealing temperature. Only the repliQa HiFi toughMix gave me the correct size products. It is very fast and works much better than NEB Q5 for difficult plasmids in PCR."

Dr. Kara C. | UT Southwestern Medical Center
AccuStart Long Range SuperMix

"The AccuStart Long Range SuperMix produced a clean long-range product (10 kbp) on our first try! We are excited to have a reliable and easy-to-use polymerase to produce DNA for single-molecule studies."

Danielle M. | Professor, Stanford University
PerfeCTa SYBR Green FastMix

"With the PerfeCTa SYBR Green FastMix we had less variability in our triplicates and more reproducible results between repeat experiments."

PerfeCTa SYBR Green SuperMix

"PerfeCTa SYBR Green SuperMix has been my first and successful experience that boosted my confidence for qPCR. I am really satisfied with its performance."

Teaching Assistant | Ohio University
repliQa HiFi ToughMix

"This can amplify the tough template for SURE. I was struggled with the tough template that showed poor quality results with other many PCR enzymes. This repliQa saved my life and eventually gave me the clear and strong band by gel."

Lili C. | Post Doc, USC
repliQa HiFi ToughMix

"The kit have a great power of amplification and extreme fast speed, I just need one hour to get result which I usually spent three hours before."

Simon S. | Professor, Tennessee State University
