Meet the Challenges of Next-Generation Genomic Amplification and Gene Discovery!

Our KOD DNA Polymerases AND Transfection Reagents are 100% Guaranteed *

Today’s genomics research requires tools for accuracy, speed and yield from the lowest input samples. Merck’s KOD DNA Polymerases are fast proving to be the tools of choice for demanding PCR needs.

Whether developing synthetic biology constructs, amplifying challenging GC/TA rich gene targets or libraries for next generation sequencing as well as Plant or Animal PCR from crude samples, our KOD DNA polymerases will help expedite your discoveries.

*If you are not completely satisfied, for any reason, with the performance of Merck KOD Polymerases or Transfection Reagents, contact a Technical Support Specialist for assistance or full credit against future purchases.

Choose the Appropriate Thermostable Polymerase for PCR Applications:

Enzyme
PCR Product Size (kB)
Applications
KOD DNA Polymerase <6 Cloning, cDNA amplification
KOD Hot Start DNA Polymerase <21 Cloning, cDNA amplification 
KOD XL DNA Polymerase <30 Crude samples, multiplex, incorporation of derivatized dNTPs
KOD Xtreme Hot Start DNA Polymerase <40 Crude samples, long targets, difficult and GC-rich targets 
   
  • KOD-XL DNA polymerase amplification results in a mixture of blunt and 3’-dA products while other KOD DNA polymerases generate blunt end products.
  • NovaTaq™ is also available for routine PCR.

Choose the appropriate Transfection reagents:

In addition, maximize your target discoveries in cell culture with our extensive portfolio of routine and specialized transfection reagents designed for low toxicity and higher transfection efficiencies in almost any cell line!
