Thermo Scientific Phusion Blood Direct PCR Kit is designed for amplification of DNA from whole blood. It eliminates the need for a separate DNA purification step prior to PCR. The modified Phusion Hot Start II High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase is resistant to PCR inhibitors present in blood and retains its activity even with samples containing 40% whole blood.
This extremely accurate proofreading DNA polymerase makes the Phusion Blood Direct PCR Kit an ideal choice even for demanding applications, such as cloning. Phusion Blood Direct PCR Kit also allows analysis of blood samples with different anticoagulants, storage conditions and from various species.
