Description
The G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase is a new genetically modified, recombinant DNA polymerase suitable for GC-rich templates that are difficult to amplify. The fidelity of G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase is 70 times higher than that of Taq DNA polymerase. The high extension rate of G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase is achieved by blending the DNA polymerase with an elongation enhancer. The optimized 5X G-HiFi™ Buffer includes special ingredients that suppress non-specific amplification as well as plateau effect produced by conventional PCR. With the optimized 5X G-HiFi™ Buffer, G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase is capable to amplify most templates, such as longer targets (up to 40 kb from lambda DNA) and that contain GC-rich sequences.

What are the differences between SMO-HiFi™ (TF1000) and G-HiFi™ (TF3000)?
Both SMO-HiFi™ (TF1000) and G-HiFi™ (TF3000) are new genetically modified, recombinant DNA polymerase with fidelity 70 times higher than Taq DNA polymerase during amplification.
The accelerated extension rate of G-HiFi™ DNA Polymerase (TF3000) is attained through a unique combination with an elongation enhancer.
Furthermore, TF3000, equipped with an optimized 5x G-HiFi buffer, exhibits the ability to efficiently synthesize long target (up to 40 kb from lambda DNA) and GC-rich DNA templates that are typically challenging to amplify.
