NEBNext® Q5 Hot Start HiFi PCR Master Mix is the original hot start NEBNext formulation of Q5 DNA polymerase. This formulation is also included as a component in all of the original NEBNext Ultra kits, for DNA and RNA library preparation.The NEBNext Ultra II Q5 Master Mix (NEB #M0544) is now available, which further improves the uniformity of amplification of libraries, including superior performance with GC-rich regions.The polymerase component of both master mixes, Q5 High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase, is a novel thermostable DNA polymerase that possesses 3´→5´ exonuclease activity, and is fused to a processivity-enhancing Sso7d domain. Q5 also has the highest fidelity available (> 280-fold higher than that of Taq DNA Polymerase), resulting in ultra-low error rates.This convenient 2X master mix contains dNTPs, Mg++ and a proprietary buffer, and requires only the addition of primers and DNA template for robust amplification. The inclusion of the hot start aptamer allows convenient room temperature reaction set up.
Reaction ConditionsNEBNext Q5 Hot Start HiFiPCR Master Mix, DNA template and 0.5 μM to1.25 μM primers (depending on sample input) in atotal reaction volume of 50 μl.
