Kapa Biosystems is constantly evolving better science by applying the latest advances in genomics and synthetic biology to help reduce costs, simplify workflows and improve results. Kapa’s core protein engineering technologies enable them to tailor enzymes to suit specific applications in next-generation DNA and RNA sequencing, DNA amplification and molecular diagnostics. Biomedical research is no longer limited by the constraints of native enzyme structure or function.
Evolved for extreme fidelity, robustness, and low-bias amplification of difficult templates.
KAPA HiFi DNA Polymerase is a novel, single-enzyme system that exhibits industry-leading performance when compared with other high fidelity polymerases and polymerase blends. The intrinsic high processivity of KAPA HiFi results in significant improvements to yield, sensitivity, speed, target length, and the ability to amplify difficult templates (e.g AT- and GC-rich). The error rate of KAPA HiFi PCR Kits is 100X lower than wild-type Taq DNA polymerase.
Product Highlights:
• Achieve the highest fidelity
• Improve performance on GC- and AT-rich templates
• Amplify longer targets with greater sensitivity

• Achieve excellent reproducibility and efficiency
• Increase flexibility
Accurate detection of DNA sequence variations.
High Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis is a technique for fast, high-throughput post-PCR analysis of genetic mutations or variance in nucleic acid sequences. The KAPA HRM FAST Master Mix contains a novel DNA polymerase and buffer system, and EvaGreen® saturating dye optimized for maximum discrimination between sequence variants.
Product Highlights:
• Maximize differences in sequence variants
• Accurately detect Type IV SNPs
• Go from cell to SNP quickly
Evolved to solve.
The second-generation KAPA2G Robust DNA Polymerase was evolved to solve inconsistent amplification across a broad range of amplicon types (GC- and AT-rich). This product is ideally suited for challenging PCR applications and difficult samples, eliminating the need for optimization using multiple enzymes and protocols.
Product Highlights:
• Efficient amplification of GC- and AT-rich targets
• Improved tolerance to common PCR inhibitors
