General Description

KAPA Express Extract with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ReadyMix^? is a novel thermostable protease and buffer system that allows for the extraction of PCR-ready DNA in less than 15 minutes. DNA extractions are conveniently performed in a single-tube thereby greatly reducing the risk of sample loss and contamination.
The combination of KAPA Express Extract and KAPA2G Robust HotStart^? ReadyMix^? provides a high performance solution for rapid DNA extraction and consistent downstream amplification.
