Thermus Flavus (Tfl) DNA Polymerase

Source

Thermus flavus

Applications

• Efficiently synthesizes DNA at elevated temperatures (1)
• Can be used for amplification of nucleic acids in PCR and LCR reaction
• Used for high temperature DNA sequencing
• Broader Mg2+ ions concentration tolerance than Taq DNA polymerase
