Convenience: assemble PCR reactions at room temperature
Specificity: Hot start kinetics reduce nonspecific primer annealing
improving product yield
Product size: Use for PCR products up to 10 kb
Flexibility: Optional KB extender gives more versatility in PCR assays
Just as with Taq DNA Polymerase
Platinum Taq DNA Polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a 3' deoxyadenosine to product ends
and has a 5'3' exonuclease activity (but not 3'5' exonuclease activity)
PCR products generated with platinumTaq DNA polymerase may be used in the same downstream applications without protocol modifications
