Product Name Phusion High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase, 2 U/µL
Catalog No. IEC-HMM-0071
Description Recombinant high-fidelity DNA polymerase with proofreading (3′→5′ exonuclease) activity, engineered through fusion of a dsDNA-binding domain to a Pyrococcus-like proofreading polymerase. This fusion technology dramatically improves processivity and fidelity (error rate ~4.4×10⁻⁷, approximately 50-fold higher fidelity than Taq). Designed for demanding PCR applications requiring accurate amplification of long or GC-rich templates.
Intended Use High-fidelity PCR amplification for cloning, mutagenesis, and sequencing; long-range PCR up to 20 kb genomic DNA; GC-rich template amplification; blunt-end PCR product generation for cloning; site-directed mutagenesis; NGS library amplification.
Principle / Technology Fused dsDNA-binding domain tethers polymerase to template, increasing processivity >10-fold; proofreading 3′→5′ exonuclease activity corrects misincorporation errors in real-time; error rate 50× lower than Taq DNA polymerase
Detection Method Standard 50 µL reaction: 1× Phusion buffer, 200 µM dNTPs, 0.5 µM each primer, template DNA, 0.5-1 U polymerase; typical cycling: 98 °C 30 sec (initial), 98 °C 10 sec / 55-72 °C 30 sec / 72 °C 15-30 sec/kb (30-35 cycles), 72 °C 5-10 min
Sample Type Genomic DNA (10-200 ng), plasmid DNA (1-10 ng), cDNA (1-5 µL RT reaction), bacterial colonies (direct PCR)
Sensitivity / LOD Amplifies from as little as 1 pg plasmid or 10 ng human genomic DNA per 50 µL reaction
Specificity Generates blunt-end products; 3′→5′ exonuclease activity degrades unpaired primers — use carefully designed primers with stable 3′ ends
Reaction Conditions / Protocol Extension rate 15-30 sec/kb for genomic DNA, 15 sec/kb for plasmid; optimal annealing temperature typically Tm +3 °C vs. standard Taq due to dsDNA binding domain
Components / Formulation Phusion DNA Polymerase (2 U/µL), 5× Phusion HF Buffer (with 7.5 mM MgCl₂), 5× Phusion GC Buffer (with 7.5 mM MgCl₂ for GC-rich templates), DMSO (for GC-rich amplification), 50 mM MgCl₂ solution (for Mg²⁺ optimization)

Regulatory / Compliance For laboratory and research use only; RUO; ISO 9001
Compatibility PCR products are blunt-ended — compatible with blunt-end cloning vectors; add 3′-A overhang with Taq for TA cloning; GC buffer recommended for templates >65% GC; DMSO (3% final) recommended for GC-rich or structured templates
Recommended Buffer System 5× HF Buffer: 1× provides 1.5 mM MgCl₂; 5× GC Buffer: 1× provides 1.5 mM MgCl₂ + proprietary GC enhancers; Mg²⁺ can be titrated with supplied MgCl₂ solution
Application Notes / Precautions Aliquot enzymes to avoid repeated freeze-thaw; use dedicated nuclease-free workspace; verify enzyme activity for critical applications
Batch-to-Batch Consistency Enzyme specific activity within ±15% of reference lot; functional testing per lot
