Applied Biosystems GeneAmp 10X PCR Gold Buffer is formulated to provide flexible, efficient activation of AmpliTaq Gold DNA Polymerase, resulting in highly specific, robust PCR amplification.

The ionic strength and pH of GeneAmp 10X PCR Gold Buffer have been optimized to provide a wider activation temperature and time range when used in conjunction with AmpliTaq Gold DNA Polymerase.

GeneAmp 10X PCR Gold Buffer is both magnesium ion-free and gelatin-free. A separate MgCl₂ solution is provided. When used together, GeneAmp 10X PCR Gold Buffer and the MgCl₂ solution offer more versatility in optimizing the magnesium ion concentration to achieve optimal PCR amplification with any specific set of primers and DNA template.
