FAQs


  1. What is the activity level of BsrDI at 37°C?

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

Ligation and Re-cutting:
After a 10-fold overdigestion with BsrDI, > 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA Ligase (at a 5' termini concentration of 1-2 μM) at 16ºC. Of these ligated fragments, > 95% can be recut with BsrDI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 15 units of BsrDI incubated for 16 hours at 65ºC resulted in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Exonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 50 units of BsrDI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 65ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.
