Stability TAG Technology
Stability Tag is a patented genetic modification that does not impair enzyme activity or function while improving enzyme stability and resistance to temperature.
3D MODEL OF FIREPOL® DNA POLYMERASE INCLUDING STABILITY TAG
Proteins designed to withstand higher temperatures
• Increased stability and overall shelf-life• Compatibility with high throughput robotic systems
• Increased freeze-thaw cycle tolerance
• Environmentally friendly cold chain-free shipping
Safe storage
Reagents remain fully active even after a power outage has damaged everything else in your freezer, after someone has forgotten the reagents on the table overnight, or if there have been delays in the customs during shipment. Routine storage at -20°C is required to ensure maximum shelf-life.
Convenient reaction set-up
Room temperature stable enzymes allow ice-free reaction set-up.• Saves valuable bench space
• Convenient for high-throughput workflows
• No harm is done if you forget your enzymes out of fridge for weeks
Ice-free shipping
Stability TAG technology means we can ship your order without dry ice and large insulation boxes, which is better both for the environment and your budget:• less material used for packaging
• lower package weight
• significant decrease of CO₂ footprint
• lower shipping charges for you
• no additional regulations for shipping and receiving the goods
• accessible for all labs
Stability TAG ensures product stability at room temperature* for 30 days
All enzymes produced by Solis BioDyne, including DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases, as well as other proteins (i.e. RNase inhibitor, Uracil-N-glucosylase), are exceptionally stable at room temperature due to a proprietary genetic modification in the polypeptide structure - Stability TAG (EU Patent EP2501716, Korea Patent No 10-1773636 and US Patent No 9,321,999).All our products can withstand at least 1 month at room temperature without detectable change in the performance of the product, which enables shipping products without ice. The exceptional product stability is furthermore supported by a unique buffer composition.
Stability TAG also enhances long-term stability of enzymes stored at -20°C which is the recommended storage temperature of all of these products upon arrival, to ensure maximum shelf-life.
* Room temperature is 15-25°C according to "Guidelines for the Storage of Essential Medicines and Other Health Commodities", World Health Organization (2003).
