Accuris Taq DNA Polymerase, 6,000 Units Bulk

The PR1000-6000 is the largest pack of the Accuris standard Taq DNA Polymerase family, 6,000 units of recombinant Taq DNA Polymerase at 5 U/µL for high-throughput endpoint PCR workflows. The bulk-pack format for production-scale PCR labs, multi-bench institutional procurement, and core-facility consolidated reagent procurement where the bulk-pack per-unit economics matter, approximately 32% lower per-unit cost than the 500-unit pack at standard pack-size pricing. Each kit ships with Taq DNA Polymerase at 5 U/µL + matched 5X buffer containing PCR enhancers and 15 mM MgCl₂. dNTPs are sold separately.

Key Specifications

Bulk-Pack Per-Unit Economics

The PR1000 family pricing reflects bulk-pack discounting at the largest pack size:

For production-scale workflows the per-reaction enzyme cost difference is meaningful: a high-throughput bench running 10,000 reactions per quarter saves approximately $70–$80 per 6,000-unit pack vs equivalent unit-volume in 500-unit packs.

When to Pick the 6,000-Unit Bulk Pack

Order PR1000-6000 when:

1. Production-scale PCR throughput. Clinical-research labs, pharma R&D, agricultural diagnostics, or pathogen-detection production benches running >5,000 endpoint PCR reactions per pack-rotation cycle
2. Core-facility consolidated procurement. Academic core facilities or biotech central-lab functions consolidating PCR reagent procurement across multiple research groups
3. Multi-bench institutional procurement. Institutional labs with shared PCR-reagent inventory across multiple benches
4. Per-reaction cost matters. Workflows where the ~32% per-unit savings vs the 500-unit pack moves the per-reaction reagent cost meaningfully
5. Stable-throughput workflows. Workflows with predictable enzyme demand where the 6,000-unit pack turns over within enzyme-stability windows

For benches running smaller-volume PCR or with less-predictable demand, the PR1000-1000 workhorse pack is the right pick. For occasional / pilot use, the PR1000-500 is the entry pack.

Storage & Throughput Planning

A 6,000-unit pack supports approximately ~4,800 standard PCR reactions at 1.25 units per 50 µL reaction. For benches running ~100 reactions per week, that's a ~12-month reagent rotation. Verify against Accuris's recommended storage and reagent-stability window before committing to the bulk pack vs splitting into multiple smaller packs across the rotation period.

Standard Taq vs Hot-Start vs High-Fidelity: Variant Decision

The PR1000 family ships in three enzyme variants:

For high-throughput workflows where the bulk-pack standard Taq economics matter and the workflow doesn't need hot-start or high-fidelity chemistry, the PR1000-6000 is the right primary stock.

Reagent Composition

Per the Accuris Life Science Reagents Catalog, the PR1000-6000 kit includes:

• Taq DNA Polymerase at 5 U/µL (total 1,200 µL = 6,000 units, typically supplied as multiple tubes of 200 µL or 500 µL each; confirm packaging at order)
• 5X buffer with PCR enhancers and 15 mM MgCl₂ (multiple tubes scaled to support the 6,000-unit volume)

dNTPs are not included. Order separately or supply from existing dNTP inventory. For production-scale workflows, consider procurement-coordinating the bulk dNTP procurement alongside the bulk enzyme procurement.

Application Profile

High-throughput pathogen-detection PCR. Production labs running endpoint pathogen-detection PCR at high volume.

Production-scale clinical-research PCR. Clinical-research workflows running consolidated endpoint PCR at multi-thousand-reaction-per-quarter scale.

Agricultural and food-testing PCR. Agricultural-genotyping, food-safety testing, GMO testing labs running high-volume routine endpoint PCR.

Core-facility consolidated PCR services. Academic core facilities providing PCR services across multiple research groups.

Quality-control PCR workflows. Production QC labs running recurring PCR-based release testing where enzyme volume turnover is predictable.

High-throughput genotyping. Agricultural breeding labs, animal-genotyping production, or large-cohort clinical-research genotyping at production scale.

Teaching-lab cohort exercises. Large undergraduate-cohort molecular-biology coursework running PCR at scale across the semester.

Ordering & Configuration

dNTP procurement coordination. Bulk Taq enzyme procurement should be coordinated with dNTP procurement. Plan both reagents on the order and consider bulk dNTP procurement alongside.

Storage capacity. Verify lab freezer capacity at −20 °C to accommodate the bulk pack format; the multi-tube format may require dedicated freezer-rack space.

Throughput verification. Confirm at quote that bench throughput supports rotation through the 6,000-unit pack within enzyme-stability windows, if throughput is uncertain, the smaller PR1000-1000 pack at slightly higher per-unit cost may be the right pick.

Returns. Per the universe price-list category header: reagent products including PCR enzymes are non-returnable due to perishable nature.

Confirm at quote: workflow throughput (verifies bulk-pack rotation), dNTP / supplemental reagent procurement coordination, freezer storage capacity, shipping conditions (cold-chain), and lead time.

Warranty: Per Accuris Life Science Reagents standard kit warranty terms. Confirm at quote.
