Choosing the right DNA Polymerase is essential to ensure accuracy, yield, and reproducibility in PCR workflows. At Canvax™, we manufacture a comprehensive range of high-performance polymerases and ready-to-use MasterMixes designed to meet every research need — from routine amplification to long, GC-rich, or multiplex reactions.
Our enzymes are produced in ISO 9001 and ISO 13485–certified facilities in Europe, under rigorous quality controls that guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and superior performance in every assay.
Selecting the Right DNA Polymerase for Your Research
Fidelity, speed, and template type
For high-stakes experiments such as cloning or sequencing, fidelity determines accuracy in base incorporation. For screening or diagnostic workflows, speed and yield may take priority.
Canvax™ polymerases are optimized to provide a balanced performance across fidelity, processivity, and robustness, ensuring reliable amplification even from complex or low-quality templates.
Hot-start vs. standard polymerases
Hot-start polymerases, such as HotBegan™ Hot Start Taq-DNA Polymerase, remain inactive at room temperature and activate only after initial denaturation. This minimizes nonspecific amplification and primer-dimer formation — ideal for high-sensitivity assays.
When to use MasterMix formats
If you require reproducible results and faster setup, Canvax™ MasterMixes integrate enzyme, buffer, MgCl₂, and dNTPs in a single, convenient solution.
They are particularly recommended for high-throughput or teaching laboratories, where consistency and workflow efficiency are crucial.
