High-Fidelity (HF®) restriction enzymes have the same specificity as native enzymes, but have been engineered for significantly reduced star activity and performance in a single buffer (rCutSmart™ Buffer). All HF-restriction enzymes come with Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X). Enjoy the enhanced performance and added value of our engineered enzymes at the same price as the native enzyme:

Engineered for improved performance
Optimized for Golden Gate Assembly; maintains high activity levels in T4 DNA Ligase Buffer often used in this application
Type IIS restriction enzymes recognize asymmetric DNA sequences and cleave outside of their recognition sequence
100% activity in rCutSmart Buffer
Time-Saver™ qualified for digestion in 5-15 minutes
Reduced star activity
NEB has developed convenient kits (using BsmBI-v2 and BsaI-HFv2) for performing Golden Gate Assembly.
Can be used with NEBridge^® Ligase Master Mix for Golden Gate Assembly
Restriction Enzyme Cut Site: GGTCTC(1/5)

"I really, really love BsaI-HFv2. We are back to getting phenomenal GGA results again with very little background."

Product Information

BsaI-HF^®v2 has been optimized for Golden Gate Assembly. BsaI-HFv2 also works well for any protocol requiring DNA cutting by BsaI. This is the recommended enzyme for any purpose requiring digestion at the recognition sequence: 5′-GGTCTC(N1)/(N5)-3′.

High Fidelity (HF) Restriction Enzymes have 100% activity in CutSmart Buffer; single-buffer simplicity means more straightforward and streamlined sample processing. HF enzymes also exhibit dramatically reduced star activity. HF enzymes are all Time-Saver qualified and can therefore cut substrate DNA in 5-15 minutes with the flexibility to digest overnight without degradation to DNA. Engineered with performance in mind, HF restriction enzymes are fully active under a broader range of conditions, minimizing off-target products, while offering flexibility in experimental design.
